Motorcycle Safety Encouraged by SC Highway Patrol

With over 30 motorcycle deaths across South Carolina so far in 2017, SC Highway Patrol is encouraging bike riders and car drivers to be aware of others on the roadways.

As motorcycle rallies kick off this month, more bikers will be out on the roads. It is important for people in cars to limit their distractions and be on the lookout for motorcycles. SC Highway Patrol says, "look twice, save a life."

Many bike shop owners encourage those with motorcycles to always wear a helmet despite it not being a law in South Carolina for those over 21‑years‑old. A recent study claims helmets reduce spinal injury, further emphasizing the life-saving benefits of wearing proper gear.

Helmets can be the difference between life and death in the event of an accident. And if the unthinkable happens, experienced motorcycle accident lawyers are ready to help injured riders with legal guidance and support.
