According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be killed in an accident than passenger cars. With that level of risk, it’s important to put safety first when climbing on your motorcycle.

Here are our top 5 safety tips for motorcyclists:

  1. Take a motorcycle safety course—Before getting out on the open road, it’s worthwhile to take a motorcycle safety course. These programs not only teach you the basics of how to operate your motorcycle but provide you with essential strategies for avoiding accidents.
  2. Get the right protective gear—Always wear a helmet, a riding jacket, and the proper footwear when operating a motorcycle. It can make all the difference if you have to lay your bike down.
  3. Leave enough space—When riding on a Nashville highway or in town, always give yourself plenty of space between you and other cars. An extra five feet between you and the car in front of you could save your life.
  4. Look twice—Before pulling out at an intersection, always look twice to confirm the path you’re taking is all clear.
  5. Avoid distractions—Distracted driving puts your life in danger, as well as those around you. Never fiddle with your phone, listen to music, or attempt to eat or drink while riding. Those things can wait until you’ve safely reached your destination.

    I was driving down I-40 when I got hit by another car. I called Michael Ponce because I wanted an attorney right here in Nashville. As soon as I called, I knew I made the right decision, and Ponce Law got me the money I needed to get back on my feet. I highly recommend Ponce Law!

    After my car accident, I wasn’t sure if I needed an attorney. I called Ponce Law for a free consultation. I’m so glad I made the call. I wanted a local attorney, and from the first call, to when my case was settled, I felt heard, valued, and taken care of.

    I was on I-40 coming into Nashville and a car ran into the back of me. The accident was serious, and I needed surgery. I did ask an attorney friend of mine whom I should call, and he said call Ponce Law. The folks at Ponce Law were outstanding and got us a large settlement.
