Long Island Motorcycle Accidents in the Summer

Posted: May 13, 2019

Ambulance on Scene of a Motorcycle AccidentWhen the nice weather begins in Long Island, more motorcyclists may be out and looking to feel the freedom of the open road. As the roads begin to fill up in summer months, the number of  motorcycle and car accidents will likely increase. If you want to stay safe while riding your motorcycle, there are some tips you should follow all summer long.

Watch for all Traffic

Motorcycles are not the only types of vehicles that descend upon busy roadways once the nicer weather begins. All types of motor vehicles are on the Long Island roads, and that makes it that much more important for every driver to be vigilant. When you are on your motorcycle, watch for traffic from all directions and stay within the rules of the road.

Protect Yourself from the Summer Sun

During the summer, the glare from the sun is strong and can be a driving hazard if you are not careful. Motorcyclists do not always have the benefit of a specially treated windshield that eliminates the sun’s glare, which is why Long Island motorcycle owners have to be more conscious of the sun’s rays. It is important that you find the most comfortable way for you to prevent the sun from being a reason for your motorcycle accident.

Wear Protective Clothing

With all of the vehicles out on the road in Long Island and the sun making driving dangerous, motorcyclists should protect themselves from the possibility that they could become involved in an accident at some point during the summer. You should invest in protective clothing specifically designed for use by motorcyclists during the hot weather. Exposed skin on your body is at risk during your summer motorcycle rides, so you should do everything you can to protect yourself as much as possible.
