How can you keep yourself safe on your motorcycle at night?
Many motorcyclists are scared to ride their bikes at night. They fear the dark because it diminishes their visual acuity. This makes it harder for them to navigate curves and corners or to spot road hazards. The darkness also tends to bring out nocturnal animals and drunk drivers. While riding your bike in the dark is dangerous, there are steps that you can take to keep yourself safe.
There are steps teen motorcyclists can take to avoid getting hurt
Many California teens are motivated to take to the road on a motorcycle for much the same reasons adults are.

Since teens have far less experience on the road, they're at an increased risk of getting hurt out on the road. There are steps that they can take to reduce their risk of getting injured, however.
What information is covered in motorcycle safety classes?
While every motorist has to take a driver's exam before they're given their California motorcycle license, few motorcyclists take an in-depth classroom-style course before getting those licenses.

Motorcyclists experience traumatic injuries, even with helmets
Many states, including California, require that all motorcyclists wear helmets. Many tend to develop a false sense of security by wearing them. They sometimes tend to operate their motorcycles more recklessly than they should, thinking that their helmet will protect them if they're involved in any serious crash. Few understand how vulnerable they are to suffering some of the most life-altering types of injuries.
