Sharing the Road: How Drivers Can Help Keep Motorcyclists Safe

Sharing is caring—especially when it comes to road safety. Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users, and with a little extra attention, drivers can make a big difference.

Here are some simple but powerful ways to help keep riders safe:

✅ Check your blind spots – Motorcycles are smaller and can easily disappear from view. Always do a shoulder check before changing lanes or merging.
✅ Scan ahead, especially at intersections – Many motorcycle crashes happen at intersections. Slow down, look twice, and be ready to give way.
✅ Give them space – Motorcycles may need more room to brake or swerve in an emergency. Don’t tailgate—give them the same buffer you’d want.
✅ Watch before you open your door – A quick glance in your side mirror could prevent a serious crash.
✅ Look twice when pulling out – Bikes are easy to miss, especially in busy traffic or low light. A second check could save a life.

At Boost Driver Training, we believe safer roads start with awareness and respect. Whether you’re on four wheels or two, we all have a part to play.

Let’s look out for each other—because every check counts.
