SPRINGFIELD, IL -(Effingham Radio)- It’s that time of year, time for motorcycles to roar across Illinois.
And it’s time, the Illinois Department of Transportation says, for drivers to see motorcycles.
I-DOT says awareness, both from people on bikes and people in cars, is the best safety tool on the street.
I-DOT says motorcyclists make up just three percent of the people on Illinois’ roads, but account for 15 percent of the people killed in accidents on the state’s highways.
