• What got us here?
• During the critical days of summer, off-base
  motorcycle accidents have effected members of
  Team Robins, resulting in loss of life and
  several serious injuries.
• Based on national statistics, motorcycle
  fatalities and serious injuries continue to rise.
• In the majority of these accidents, a
  nation-wide problem has been that automobile
  drivers say that they did not see the
  motorcyclist.

• A quick reminder from Safety

• Considering crash statistics and the increasing
  number of motorcyclists, the key to a safer
  traffic mix is learning to share the road.
• Car drivers involved in collisions with
  motorcycles often do not notice the motorcycle
  before the collision
