Mount Vernon Optic-Herald

May is National Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month, but in Texas every month is Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month. With 961,682 licensed motorcyclists in the Lone Star state, all roadway users share the responsibility of safe travel each and every moment.
With the good-weather riding season beginning and the increased popularity of motorcycles, more and more two- and three-wheeled traffic is present on Texas highways and city streets. Motorcycles are difficult to see because of their smaller size compared to larger vehicles,  so please make a conscious effort to look, and then look again for motorcycles. For more information, see the April 28 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
