The Car Driver’s Guide to Avoiding Motorcycle Accidents

With Thunder in the Valley currently running check out these tips on how to avoid an accident with a motorcycle:

Five good habits to keep include:

1. Always look twice – It’s easy to miss a motorcycle with a quick glance to your blind spot. Always make sure to look twice when changing lanes and turning to avoid pulling out in front of or changing lanes into one.
2. Signal lane changes and turns – To hedge your bets with crash avoidance, be sure to always signal your movements at least a few seconds before making them. This gives the motorcyclist a heads up so that they can avoid your car.
3. Avoid letting motorcycles stay in your blind spot – While any motorcycle rider should know better than to stay in a car’s blind spot, if you find one hovering in yours, try to speed up or slow down to get them into a more visible location. It can be easy to forget that they’re there when you’re changing lanes.
4. Leave room – When you’re behind a motorcycle on the road, always leave extra room between your car and their vehicle. Motorcycles are much more agile than cars, and you will want to be sure that you have enough time to stop.
5. Be aware of potential “danger zones” – Some roads make it more difficult to drive with motorcycles, but if you note these areas ahead of time and take extra precautions, you can reduce risk.

Do You Have The Ugliest Car in America?

Do You Have The Ugliest Car in America? You could win an all-expenses-paid trip to the year’s most exclusive automotive event, the Monterey Classic Car Week in California’s tony Pebble Beach!

We’ve all seen the rusted out, dinged up lemons, paint peeling, bumpers missing and bumpers hanging on with a bungee cord.  But which of these is really America’s ugliest automobile?  That’s what the folks from Hagerty Insurance want to find out – and the winner among those losers could be in for a sweet surprise as part of the second annual “Search for America’s Sweetest Lemons.”

The winning car will come along for the ride, there to be celebrated alongside rarities like a Bugatti Royale and some equally rare gems.  Appropriately, the winner of the Sweetest Lemons contest 

“We believe all cars are beautiful and deserve to be celebrated,” said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “This is an opportunity to showcase these eccentric, quirky and weird vehicles. Many cars that were once viewed as hopeless now enjoy an enthusiastic, cult-like following.”

Whether the winners of the contest will develop their own cult – complete with car groupies or not – remains to be seen, but there’s a growing counter-culture following for truly awful automobiles, as demonstrated by the growing success of what is now the Tour of Lemons.

will serve as Grand Marshal of the Concours d’LeMons, now being renamed Hagerty’s Tour of Lemons.

The event is a mock race that requires entrants to come up with the cheapest, rudest and crudest junkers they can find.  Simply having the car survive the race is generally considered a certain degree of victory.

Anyone who wants to risk going up against America’s other great lemons can submit a photo of their car and a brief description of why it deserves to be christened “America’s Sweetest Lemon.”  Submissions can be sent to SweetestLemon@Hagerty.com by Sunday, July 8. The top ten candidates will be posted for public voting from July 11 – 20 at the Hagerty website.
