I’ve said this time and time again….. distractive driving kills. Everyone, including motorcycle riders, and especially car drivers, PLEASE, PLEASE pay attention, and SLOW DOWN! This data is sad, and scary. We should all be able to get out and ride safely, but you must be aware and alert at all times.
UPDATE: As of October 21st, 2024 there have been 26 motorcyclists tragically killed on Long Island alone. At least 2/3 of these deaths happened in Suffolk County, NY. 1 motorcycle death is too much, this is apalling and overwhelmingly sad.
Below is a list from local news reporting on the deaths of motorcycle riders and passengers in Nassau County and Suffolk County NY.
