Myrtle Beach Bike Week and the Atlantic Beach Bikefest: Tips For Visiting Motorcyclists
Motorcycle occupants have more at stake than the average car occupant. Severe injury is much more common for the mostly unprotected bike rider than it is when one is surrounded by the steel and airbags of a vehicle. South Carolina currently ranks third in the country in the number of motorcycle fatalities per year for the number of registered drivers.
Motorcycle rallies draw in thousands of people that are unfamiliar with the area. Myrtle Beach Bike Week and the Atlantic Beach Bikefest traditionally bring in hundreds of thousands of people in the spring and 25,000 in the fall. The excitement and distractions increase the risk of an unexpected event. Here are a few tips to help drivers and riders stay safe so they can enjoy their visit.
In most cases of auto accidents, the driver ends up at least partially liable for the accident. However, the driver of an at-fault vehicle is not the only party who may be liable for the accident. Below are other parties who may share the liability of an auto accident with the driver.
When you get in another person's car, you may not realize it but you're literally putting your life in their hands. Even if they're one of the best drivers you know, you still risk getting into an accident. After all, there are hundreds of other people on the roads too. So you need to be aware of your options in case you are involved in a car accident as a passenger.
