In 2020, in the 7,481 motorcycle crashes in Texas, 1,856 motorcyclists were seriously injured and 482 were killed.

TxDOT has these safety tips for drivers to protect motorcyclists and prevent crashes:

- Take extra care when making a LEFT TURN. It’s safest to let the motorcycle pass to avoid turning in front of the rider.

- PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION at intersections. Nearly one in three motorcycle fatalities happens at a roadway intersection.

- NO PHONES. Even a momentary distraction, such as answering a phone call or changing the radio station, can have deadly consequences.

- LOOK TWICE when changing lanes. Check mirrors, check blind spots, and always use turn signals.

- STAY BACK. If you’re behind a motorcycle, always maintain a safe following distance. When a motorcyclist downshifts instead of applying the brake to slow down, it can catch drivers off guard since there are no brake lights to signal reduced speed.

- SLOW DOWN. Obey posted speed limits and drive to condition
