None of the motorcycles in this picture can be seen in the trucker's mirrors or other blind spots. Riding season is upon us. When riding on highways, try not to "hang" around tractor trailers or any large trucks. Not only do they have a hard time seeing you, but there are other hazards associated with being near trucks, especially flatbeds and dump trucks which spew stones and pebbles behind them. Several times a year there are incidents of wheel separation from commercial vehicles resulting in the deaths of car drivers and motorcyclists.

Tips for riders:
- Before riding, complete a rider's education course and obtain a class "M" endorsement on your driver's license.
Tips for motorists:
- Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle on the highway; always allow a motorcyclist the full lane and never try to share a lane.publicinfo@ksdot.org
