If you drive a motorcycle in San Bernardino County or any county, I suggest you take extra precautions.  Statistics show that four counties in California, including San Bernardino, have a high number of motorcycle deaths and injuries. 

The California Highway Patrol is working to promote motorcycle safety on California freeways and roads by reducing the number of fatal accidents and injuries by implementing a 24-month traffic safety program.  This program will be in effect until September 2011.  The program will include a public education campaign with two public service announcements promoting the use of helmets.  In addition, 15 motorcycle safety presentations will be conducted in high-risk cities.  This program is being funded by the California office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Have you heard that the California Highway Patrol has created a two-year traffic safety program to try to reduce fatal motorcycle accidents and injuries in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties?  It seems these counties have a large amount of fatal accidents each year – making them high-risk.

 

The program involves law enforcement from the air and educating the public about sharing the road with motorcyclists.  It will include two public service announcements promoting the safety of helmets and fifteen motorcycle safety presentations in each county.  In addition, it will also include a minimum of nine safety enforcement operations in high-risk areas.

 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds this program.
