Motorcycle Safety Urged After Surge In Motorcyclist Deaths

The death of a motorcyclist  in Duchesne County on Wolf Creek Pass is tragically just one of a string of recent motorcycle crashes in the state of Utah. The Department of Public Safety offers safe riding information and tips at RideToLive.utah.gov. First, never assume drivers see you. Be sure to be seen and make yourself as highly visible as possible. In an emergency, do not stare at the guardrail or oncoming traffic as it increases the chance you will hit what you’re focusing on. Learn to use both brakes. Always watch for deer, other wildlife, and livestock that can unpredictably cross roads. Finally, learn proper techniques and challenges to watch for when traveling in a group. Visit the Ride To Live Utah website for more safety information.
