5 Safety Tips for Motorcyclists

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be killed in an accident than passenger cars. With that level of risk, it’s important to put safety first when climbing on your motorcycle.

Here are our top 5 safety tips for motorcyclists:

  1. Take a motorcycle safety course—Before getting out on the open road, it’s worthwhile to take a motorcycle safety course. These programs not only teach you the basics of how to operate your motorcycle but provide you with essential strategies for avoiding accidents.
  2. Get the right protective gear—Always wear a helmet, a riding jacket, and the proper footwear when operating a motorcycle. It can make all the difference if you have to lay your bike down.
  3. Leave enough space—When riding on a Nashville highway or in town, always give yourself plenty of space between you and other cars. An extra five feet between you and the car in front of you could save your life.
  4. Look twice—Before pulling out at an intersection, always look twice to confirm the path you’re taking is all clear.
  5. Avoid distractions—Distracted driving puts your life in danger, as well as those around you. Never fiddle with your phone, listen to music, or attempt to eat or drink while riding. Those things can wait until you’ve safely reached your destination.

I recently called Ponce Law to ask if they could handle a case I have. When speaking to the receptionist she was very polite, I can say it has been the best customer service I have ever received, unfortunately my case wasn’t a case they handle but that didn’t stop them from helping me they gave me a few numbers where I could reach out to. Ponce Law is definitely my go to if I ever need them just based off the phone call I had with them today. Call Ponce Law!!

Working with Ponce Law was a complete game-changer for me. After a distressing encounter with another law firm, I was recommended to reach out to Ponce Law by a friend. From the moment I connected with Lilly, I knew I was in good hands.
Throughout a difficult period marked by the loss of my stepmother, Lilly and the team at Ponce Law showed me so much empathy and support. Their kindness extended beyond legal matters – receiving flowers from Lilly during such a trying time meant the world to me. Those flowers, that I plan to plant outside my home, serve as a constant reminder of the care and compassion I received.
Lilly’s attentiveness and genuine concern for my well-being made all the difference. It never felt like I was just another case; instead, I felt like I was confiding in a trusted friend. The outcome of my case brings me not only closure but also the means to move forward with my life.
Thanks to Ponce Law, I’ve not only secured a settlement but also gained a newfound sense of peace and direction. Their support has empowered me to make positive changes and embrace a brighter future. I can’t recommend Ponce Law enough – they’re not just a legal team; they’re a beacon of hope in challenging times.
