DMV Reminds Motorcyclists to “Gear Up” for Spring-Like Weather Posted by Staff | Feb 24, 2021 | News | | RICHMOND – As some spring-like weather rolls in, motorcyclists roll out to enjoy the highways and byways of the Commonwealth. To help spread a message of safety, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) launched a campaign this week urging motorcyclists to wear the proper gear when taking to the road and motorists to be on the lookout for the more vulnerable road users. “Motorcyclists must do everything they can to protect themselves as they are sharing the road with vehicles that are many, many times the size of theirs,” said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb, the Governor’s Highway Safety Representative. “Gearing up with the right safety equipment every time is the simplest way to do that.”
