Shattered

The number of motorcycle fatalities in Tennessee has doubled in the last 7 years. This Motorcycle safety video was developed the Tennessee Department of Safety, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the Governor's Highway Safety Office, Metro Nashville Police and motorcycle clubs across the state to encourage motorcycle riders to educate themselves before taking to the roads, and to remind drivers to respectfully share the roads with their two-wheeled counterparts. The video was created by Memphis marketing firm Chandler Ehrlich.

Even if the motorcyclist is paying attention, that doesn't mean that they can avoid every accident. I have avoided several accidents because I was paying attention when someone else wasn't, but it's not always that easy.

We all undertand the risk everytime we put our leg over that bike. Its a shame cagers are not being made aware of us by more of these types of programs being shown. We all want to go home at the end of the day cagers and bikers, but to often in this world we dont think about others and how our actions not only affect them, but also their family and friends. Ride Hard, Ride Safe!

I ride a bike 150 miles per day. I always assume that I am invisible, and that people will turn into me or cut me off. People are unable to judge the speed of a bike. I have been rear-ended twice. Remember to watch behind you, even after the car behind you has come to a complete stop.

I've had seven accidents, and sometimes I'd just like to focking shoot those ignorant cagers. Really hate it when they just don't care about you as a biker, and when the law doesn't either.

Just makes my blood boil.

Amazing video. Makes me iffy about riding.

I also ride and try to look out for people not looking for me...I try to be as visible as I can be I try to make sure I am in their rear view mirror, but I cannot make them look in their mirrors... when I am driving a car, I am always on the llok out for motorcycles. I would rather me follow a motorcycle than someone who probably isn't paying attention to him/her and the traffic in front of him/her....

I drive a bike, and you think all these accidents are the cars fault. They aren't. They are the bikers fault. As a bike, you are invisible to everybody, and you have to assume every driver out there can't see you. Even though I drive a bike and am concious of them, when driving a car even I can't see them; on a bike you have a very small siloette.
