Florida's balmy weather translates to a long growing season for fresh foods, abundant sunshine, warm temperatures and lots of time to hit the open road on a motorcycle. Since winter is stubbornly refusing to leave parts of the country this spring, Florida's temperate climate may be particularly appealing to tourists this year, many of them enjoying the sunshine by riding on a motorcycle. Of course, many Florida residents are eager to take their bikes out on the road as well.<\/p>\n

As more and more motorcyclists hit the road, though, there is a higher chance that accidents will occur. In fact, there are hundreds of fatal motorcycle accidents in Florida annually, and thousands more result in injuries. Somewhat surprisingly, most of the accidents don't involve newbie motorcyclists who don't yet understand the rules of the road: the majority of the bikers injured or killed in crashes are men between the ages of 45 and 54 with years of experience.<\/p>\n

Florida has tried to curb the tide of accidents by requiring that all motorcycle riders pass the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's \"Basic Rider Course\" before being granted a motorcycle endorsement or license, but, unfortunately, not all motorcycle accidents can be prevented. There are measures that can be taken by both motorcyclists and motorists alike that will keep the roads as safe as possible, though.<\/p>\n
