Motorcyclists in rural San Benito County do their best to ride as safely as possible. Unfortunately, they have no control over the actions of careless drivers who may not be paying proper attention to the roads.
An unfocused driver may overlook a motorcyclist in an oncoming lane or at an intersection and leave a rider facing an unavoidable crash. The injuries may only be minor for the occupant of a vehicle, but for a defenseless rider, the consequences can be much more severe and life-threatening.
