B B B B B B B B B B B B i Safety Hints aOBBOOOQBBBOB By Secretary of State Jim Edgar Motorcyclists have the same right-of-way privileges as other drivers and are entitled to the same courtesy and consideration on the road. Please keep these safety rules in mind when near a motorcycle: 1. Don't crowd a motor­ cycle. Allow more following distance than you do for a car. A motorcycle often can stop faster than your car because it is much lighter in weight. Getting too close may make the cyclist ner­ vous and cause him or her to lose balance and fall in front of your car. PAGE 5 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 0, 1W2 2. Regardless of size, motorcycles are entitled to use the full width of a traffic lane. Do not try to stop next to a motorcycle in the same lane . . . either change lanes or stay behind. Do not try to pass a motorcycle in the lane it is using. 3. If you are following a motorcycle, allow plenty of distance when approaching a railroad track. If the crossing is rough or the tracks cross the road at an angle, the rider will need room to maneuver and will have to slow down. 4. Allow even more following distance between y o u r v e h i c l e a n d a n y motorcycle when the road is wet and slippery. If jyou have any questions about. the Secretary of State'sV office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephbne number (800-252- 8980).
