PREFACE
Because operating a motorcycle is different than operating a motor
vehicle, the Motorcycle Operator Manual was produced.
The manual is an important tool for the inexperienced rider to gain the
information necessary to operate a motorcycle safely in traffic. Even the
experienced rider can find something new in this manual.
Education and public awareness are the keys to reducing the number of
motorcyclists killed and injured on our highways. The Motorcycle Ohio
(MO) program, offered by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, provides
motorcycle safety courses for riders, as well as public information
campaigns. Information on the course is included in this manual or you
can email the Motorcycle Ohio office at Mogen@dps.. Research
comparing MO graduates and untrained motorcyclists has found that
course graduates involved in crashes are more likely to be helmeted,
insured and unimpaired.
The motorcycle crash problem is complex. A variety of countermeasures
have been implemented over the past several years to effectively reduce
the number of fatalities and injuries associated with motorcycle crashes
in Ohio. The Ohio Department of Public Safety is making every effort
possible to provide the programs and education to reduce the tragedies
suffered on our roadways by motorcyclists.
Reading this manual and gaining the knowledge required to operate
a motorcycle safely will add to the enjoyment you experience as a
motorcycle rider.
