# Safety Tips For Motorcyclists | Brooks Law Group

- Wearing a helmet and protective gear prevents fatal injuries in a motorcycle accident. Although adult motorcycle riders in Florida are not required to wear helmets, wearing one can save your life.
- Be noticed: Drivers commonly cause motorcycle accidents when they fail to see an oncoming motorcyclist.
- Obey speed restrictions: Speed limits and other driving restrictions are in place for a reason.
- Ride in the right place: Motorcyclists need to remember to stay out of blind spots, never ride tandem in one lane, and stay out of the right lane on multi-lane highways, if possible.
