(Springfield, IL) — 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 makeup 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.
