Motorcycles should be aware of large trucks while driving. Motorcyclists are in danger because they move quickly; riders often dart through traffic and truckers cannot see people on motorcycles. While large truck drivers must take care to protect other people on the road, motorcyclists should also be very careful. When sharing the road with trucks, motorcyclists should do the following:nnAvoid Riding the Lines of the Road: A motorcycle rider should not ride the lines of the road because a vehicle that plans to change lanes could sideswipe a motorcycle without even seeing it.nnAvoid Speeding: Speeding also plays a part in truck accidents because motorcycles are small and difficult to see. A large truck that is planning to get in the next lane could easily strike a motorcyclist that bolts through traffic.nnAvoid Cutting Off Trucks: Cutting off large trucks makes it difficult for truck drivers to stop, and rear-end crashes involving large trucks and motorcycles can be lethal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determined that motorcycle riders are 40 times more likely to die in crashes when large trucks are involved.nnLet Truck Drivers Pass: Motorcycle riders should also let large trucks pass when it is possible. It is better for the motorcyclist to keep the truck in their sights instead of trying to blow past them.
