 The Appalachian Advantage plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars on your monthly bill and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage and is available at Appalachian Wireless. As the weather begins to warm up, many cyclists are getting back on the roadways. May is Bicycle Safety Month and the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety is urging motorists and cyclists to share the road. And it's really just to make bicycle riders as well as motorists aware of each other. You know, the bicycles are on the road now. It's summertime. It's spring. It's beautiful weather. There's a lot of bicycles out there. And we really need to bring up the three-foot passing law, which was passed a couple years ago for Kentucky and most all states have this law. And what it means is that motorists should give bicycles on the road going in the same direction at least three feet between the tip of their mirror, in the case of big trucks, that makes a difference, and the cyclist. The three-feet passing law makes it legal for a motorist to pass a cyclist on a double yellow if there is no oncoming traffic. According to NHTSA, over 49,000 cyclists were injured and 871 cyclists were killed in 2019. Well, always wear a helmet. I mean, the leading cause of death among bicycles, motorcycles, and ATVs is due to not wearing a helmet, head injury, and obey traffic laws. Bicycles obey the same laws as a motorcycle. We travel in the same direction as a motorcycle or a car. And a bicycle is basically a slow-moving vehicle. For more information on bicycle safety, visit NHTSA.gov.
