DAYTON, Ohio-With warmer weather, more motorists, including teens and motorcyclists, take to the roads. Safety officials stress vigilance, urging drivers to watch for motorcycles and refrain from distracted driving. Despite an 8% decline in distracted driving incidents, authorities aim to further reduce these occurrences as motorcycle season begins.
Awareness campaigns highlight the importance of giving motorcyclists space and cautioning against following too closely. Teen drivers, especially, require attention due to their relative lack of experience on the road. Emphasis is placed on training and gaining driving experience for safer road behavior. Additionally, seatbelt usage, speed moderation, and avoidance of distractions are emphasized for all motorists.
