How to Ride Safely in a Group
June 29, 2009

There’s nothing like the thrill of cruising down the highway, and having good friends riding alongside only makes the experience more enjoyable. It’s important, however, to ride safely in groups so you can avoid motorcycle accidents.

Here are some tips to help avoid a motorcycle crash:

• Never ride with more than five in a group
• To avoid a motorcycle accident, the motorcycle operator should always give him or herself at least two seconds of space from the nearest rider.
• When waiting at a stoplight, pause with a fellow rider.

Riding in a group, when done correctly, runs no higher a risk of motorcycle fatality than riding alone. As long as proper precautions are followed, riders can safely enjoy the thrill of motorcycling with friends.
