This podcast was recorded live for our beloved Patreon members.  In our private Patreon FaceBook group a member asked others to share tips for new riders.  Lurch and I, as well as the Patreon members in private chat discuss many tips.  Motorcyclists remain an exception to the overall decline in U.S. highway fatalities, according to recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In the first half of 2024, motor vehicle fatalities dropped by 3.2% compared to 2023, with declines across almost all categories, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and passenger vehicle occupants. However, motorcyclist fatalities rose by 1%, standing out as a rare increase alongside a similar rise for individuals over 65. This reflects a long-term trend where fatalities among motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians constitute a growing proportion of overall traffic deaths, while fatalities for occupants of cars and trucks decline.

Modern automotive safety features such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, and adaptive cruise control have significantly improved passenger safety, reducing crash severity. However, motorcycles, even with advanced features, remain inherently less protective in crashes. While some motorcyclists point to distracted drivers as a major cause, self-inflicted risks also play a significant role. Nearly half of fatal motorcycle crashes are single-vehicle incidents, and about 25% involve alcohol, underscoring the importance of rider responsibility in reducing fatalities.

The data serves as a sobering reminder for motorcyclists to prioritize safety. Practicing proper riding techniques, maintaining situational awareness, avoiding alcohol, and investing in training can make a meaningful difference. With motorcycle fatalities on the rise, it’s critical for riders to take proactive steps to protect themselves, as the broader road safety improvements have yet to extend meaningfully to their community.
