Motorcycle Safety Month is observed every year in May. As the weather gets warmer and more motorcyclists are on the road, the initiative raises awareness of road safety for motorcyclists and those who share the road with them.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that, in 2023, the most recent full year of data, 6,335 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes, representing 15% of all traffic fatalities.
The American Motorcycle Association encourages passenger car drivers and motorcyclists to work together on the road to create a safe driving environment. All drivers should avoid distracted driving by focusing on the road and ignoring distractions such as cellphone use, adjusting the radio or GPS.
