Bike Week

As I am sure most bike enthusiasts know, Bike Week just concluded in Daytona Beach. In light of this, I thought it would be a good time to share some sobering statistics with you.

In Florida last year, approximately two (2) motorcyclists were killed EVERY DAY and another twenty three (23) injured. By the end of the year, over five hundred (500) motorcyclist were dead and another eight thousand five hundred (8500) injured. That is in one year in Florida alone! Unfortunately, motorcyclists are typically stereotyped as speeding, reckless drivers. However, more often than not, motorcycle accidents are caused by negligent automobile or truck drivers, not the motorcyclist.

While it is often not the motorcyclist who is at fault, they are typically the most injured. Just last week, a Palm Beach resident died when a pick-up truck failed to yield the right of way. See the link below for the full article.
