May Proclaimed Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
Ø Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle on the roadway. Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width—never try to share a lane;

Ø Always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections;

Ø Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic;

Ø Don’t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a mo­torcycle – motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed;

Ø Remember that road conditions which are minor annoyances to passenger vehicles pose major hazards to motor­cyclists;

Ø Allow more following distance, three or four sec­onds, when following a motorcycle, so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emer­gency. And don’t tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.

Maybe that's why I've been hearing a lot of "watch for motorcycle" announcements on the radio. It's pretty good, delivers a good message,
I just hope folks are listening.
