Drivers urged to look out for motorcyclists
An Garda Síochána are appealing to motorists to be aware of and to look out for motorcyclists while driving.
They are making this appeal due to the high number of serious accidents involving motorcyclists so far in 2022. Drivers should expect to encounter motorcyclists on the road more often now and throughout the summer period.
They also need to understand that motorcyclists have less protection in the event of a crash and so are many times more vulnerable. Drivers should always assume motorcyclists are closer than they appear. It is critical that drivers look out for motorcyclists especially, at junctions, at intersections, when turning onto a main road or when changing lanes.
Motorcyclists should ensure they are equipped with the correct PPE and ride with dipped headlights on, to increase visibility. Gardai have asked all motorists including motorcyclists to adhere to the speed limits, to take into account the road and weather conditions while driving and never, ever ride a drive a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant.
