License Examiner Gives Advice to
Bicycle Riders That Can Save Lives
If you intend riding your bicycle
to school, Driver’s License Exami
ner Clarence Hocutt has some im
portant things you should do.
You should always be on the
alert when riding your bicycle.
And remember, an accident pre
vented may be a life saved and
that life may be your own.
If your local city ordinance al
lows you to ride on the sidewalks,
always be on the alert for pedes
trians. Be courteous to those per
sons sharing the sidewalk with
you.
Bicycles are considered vehi
cles. So far as the flow of traf
fic is concerned, bicyclists must
ride on the right side of the road.
The rider must give hand signals
for turns or stops, as auto drivers
are required to do. The bicyclist
is like the pedestrian in one im
portant respect; he is likely to be
seriously injured in almost any
collision with a motor vehicle.
If your streets are thick with
motor vehicle traffic do not ride
in the traffic unless it is an emer
gency, and then at crossings al
ways dismount your bicycle and
walk the bike across in the pedes
trian area.
If you ride your bike at night,
be sure to have the bike equipped
with a headlight and a red rear
light or red reflector on it. Don’t
ride anyone on your bike with
you. This prevents a clear view
and makes balancing of the bike
difficult.
Keep your bike in good condi
tion, and do not practice any
stunt riding, day or night. Do
not ride your bike too far and
too fast at any one time. This
practice will make you tired and
any tired bicyclist is not a safe
rider.
Some 43 millian young Ameri
cans will head back to the class
rooms in the early fall. Let’s pre
pare ourselves and be on the alert
to cut down on the accidents and
hope for no deaths during the
coining school year.
License Examiner Hocutt urges
bike riders to observe the above
rules and follow them when
traveling to and from school. He
urges bike riders to make this the
safest year ever.
