May Motorcycle Safety Month
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Office of Highway joined other federal, state and local highway safety, law enforcement and motorcycle organizations to proclaim May "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month." Motorcycle fatalities nationwide have increased during the past decade. Motorcycle fatalities rose 2.2 percent nationwide in 2008 to 5,290, up from 5,174 in 2007. Officials hope the added safety emphasis in May helps remind motorists to share the road with motorcycles. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists.
