The natlort tn 1977 h.«d more than B nrillllon motorcycles, motor scooters and motor bikes on the road, alniost nine times as many as In 19M>. according to the F.ideral Highway Administration. Almost 4.200 of these were Involved in fatal accldenCs. In North Carolina, cyclists were Involved In more than S.40<i accidents during 1977 More than 86 percent of these accidents resulted in Injury com pared with a is percent accident rate for passenger cars. In ad dition, accidents Involving cyclists were nearly four times more likely to .-esult In death than those In volving passenger cars. The romance and excitement of motor- cycling need not turn to tragedy If both cyclists and car drivers exercise care and courtesy, according vo the Insurance Information Institute. It offers these pointers fro the safety of all on the highway; -Know the traffic laws and any special regulations and requlremente for motorcyclists A cyclist Is far more vulnerable than a motorist. •Obey speed laws. Over half of motorcyclists In fatal accidents are either speeding or going too fast for highway conditions. •As a cyclist, don’t ask fbr trouble by weaving In ond out of stalled traffic. or by zipping onto the road shciUder to get ahead of motorists ■ Drive ‘‘ahead.” ?,.; rnfember that about two- thirds of motorcycle-car toUtslons take place at Intersections. Both cyclists anh car drivers should anticipate and thus avoid such situations. -.Always wear a safety helmet T? can save your !!'e, or cut down the seventy of Injuries In an accident. Look for one with the symbol “DOT” (Department of Tran sportation) on the outer rear or with a safety certificate Inside. -Require your passengers to wear Iwlmets also, and see that they and you have sturdy, protective clothing. Orange or other bright color should be used for some clothing article. -Avoid tailgating. Those motnrcycUsta who do so are asking for an accident. If an auto tailgates you, slow down or pull off to the Bide of the rosul and let It pass. •If rain starts, wait a few minutes until some of the bti has washed off the high way and It is not so slick. ■ Don’t take It tor granted that other drivers can see you. At night wear clothing with some kind of mflectors -Hass other vehicles with care. Riding on the road shoulder Is poor practice.
