The Ohio State Highway Patrol is giving safety advice for National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The patrol says that with summer tight around the corner, you’ll likely start seeing more motorcycles on the road. Last year, there were over 3,300 accidents involving motorcycles. These resulted in 146 deaths and over 2,800 injuries.

The patrol says that if you ride motorcycles, you should take a training class and wear safety gear. Motorists should give motorcycles a full lane of travel and watch for motorcyclists in intersections and while switching lanes.
