On Friday another West Herr team mate was hit by an driver while riding his motorcycle. Luckily he is out of intensive care and things look hopeful. But this has become a regular but preventable occurrence.

Motorcycles are sometime hard to see, especially if you just glance before entering into the roadway. We tend to look for the profile of a vehicle not bicyclist or bikers. "Many of the accidents involve multiple vehicles and are generally caused by a driver in a larger vehicle -- a car, truck or SUV -- who wasn't aware the motorcycle was there" Said one law enforcement official.

Because of its small size, a motorcycle can be easily hidden in a car's blind spots such as the door or roof pillars, or masked by objects or backgrounds outside a car such as bushes, fences and bridges.

So our appeal is this, "take a second look before you turn into oncoming traffic", you may save a life.
