‘Live Free Ride Alive’ Motorcycle Program Appearing At Roar on the Shore, July 18-20

| July 16, 2014

ERIE, Pa. – Live Free Ride Alive (LFRA), PennDOT’s comprehensive motorcycle safety program aimed at reducing the number of motorcycle crashes and fatalities on Pennsylvania roadways through education and interaction among riders, will sponsor a booth at Roar on the Shore in Perry Square, downtown Erie on July 18-20.

Riders at the event can access the program’s interactive website designed specifically for motorcyclists, www.LiveFreeRideAlive.com, by stopping by the LFRA booth. The website challenges riders to accept personal responsibility for their own safety. Important messages include obeying the speed limit and not drinking and riding, as speeding and alcohol use increase the risk of being killed or injured in a crash. The website also emphasizes the importance of being properly licensed to operate a motorcycle and encourages the use of protective gear when riding.

Riders can learn more about motorcycle safety courses offered free of charge to Pennsylvania residents with a motorcycle license or permit. The website features short videos explaining the courses available for novice through experienced riders through the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Safety Program.

Website users can also share their riding experiences and lessons about what they’ve learned about riding. Riders can take the “Be One Less” pledge, through which they promise to strive to be “one less” crash statistic in honor of motorcyclists who have been injured or killed in crashes.
