Speaking on behalf of the company's Drive Safer America ! educational
campaign, Product Line Director, Occupant Safety and Driver Assistance
Systems, Dean McConnell said, "Unfortunately, urging safety belt use has
become so routine that some don't hear the message much less heed it. Motorists making plans that involve
alcohol should either stay the night at their destination, or have a
designated driver to get everyone home safely rather than put themselves and
others at-risk. Lack of preventive maintenance has ruined many vacations. Flush radiator and replace coolant according to
manufacturer's recommendation. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head,
replace the tires.
-- Inspecting tires, maintaining proper pressure, checking brakes and
other maintenance items is even more important on a motorcycle.

That's what Drive Safer America! is committed to," he

-- Top off windshield washer fluid. Keep a sharp lookout
for motorcycles -- most motorcycle crashes involve a driver who did not see
the motorcycle.
