Nice Weekend Always Means an Increase in Motorcycles on Roadways

A nice weekend as far as the weather is concerned means you can expect an increase in motorcycles on the roadways.

Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart said that includes himself, I’m an avid  motorcycle rider myself, I’ll be out. We’re starting that time of year where you’ve got to pay attention to the motorcycles out there. Motorcyclists have a responsibility as well, don’t get me wrong, but it’s very easy to just take a quick glance at a stop sign and not see the one headlight coming, so it’s just really time to start paying a little more attention.”

In all cases the Sheriff said taking a little extra time can make all the difference, “Slow down a little bit, take just a couple of more seconds time, do a couple of more quick glances and then proceed into the intersection.”

For the complete discussion, tune in Public Eye Saturday morning at 7:30 and Sunday at noon on WKTN.
