Please people look 3 or 4 or 5 times for us. We have loved ones too that expect to see us again too.
People should teach their children and their neighbors children and so on to look 3 or 4 times for a Motorcycle. The thing about a motorcycle is they absolutely cannot stop like a car. If needed to abruptly stop, it cant happen. They have no roll cage or protection around them so others should definitely look 3 or 4 times for us. Sad. Prayers go up
Maybe better advice would be “Don’t run over people on motorcycles!”
This is awful and happens way too often these days. Everyone please drive safely and wear a helmet when you are on a motorcycle
