May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month nationally, and the Chillicothe Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding everyone who rides to do trained and sober. Post commander Lieutenant Tim Karwatske says the responsibility starts by ensuring you have proper safety equipment and are properly trained before you get on a motorcycle. In 2020, there were almost 4,000 crashes involving motorcycles that resulted in 214 deaths and 3590 injuries. The largest metropolitan areas of the state, Franklin, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Summit, and Lucas counties, accounted for 34 percent of motocycle crashes in Ohio. Ohio law requires helmets for riders under 18 and drivers with less than one year of motorcycle experience. Passengers on motorcycles must wear helmets when the driver is required to do so.

As May welcomes in warmer weather and the motorcycle riding season begins to peak, the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) wants to remind all motorists that May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the message is to “Share The Road.”
DDS Commissioner Spencer R. Moore encourages motorcyclists to be aware of their surroundings and use caution at all times. “The best way to celebrate Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month is to always wear a helmet and to support all-rider laws to ensure fellow riders do the same,” said Commissioner Moore. He also reminds all motorists to be on the lookout for motorcyclists who may be difficult to see. “Safety on our roadways is a shared responsibility,” he added.
