In support of National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, regulators at the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) have just kicked off their 2015 Ride Wise campaign. This effort, which is focused on promoting rider safety through various training courses, has been specifically aimed at:

As CDOT supports Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, our Littleton car accident lawyers note what riders can do to stay safe on the roads.

Older male riders, who CDOT notes “may have thousands of miles of experience, yet little to zero hours of formal training on safe riding”

Reducing fatal motorcycle accidents in Colorado, in which nearly 100 people died last year (based on preliminary data).

Commenting on the importance of CDOT’s Ride Wise campaign, CDOT Highway Safety Manager (and motorcycle riding enthusiast) Glenn Davis has stated:

We want to educate riders and prevent these crashes in the first place… Training helps even the most experienced of riders improve their riding skills by focusing on techniques such as braking, counter steering and cornering.

A Closer Look at CDOT’s Ride Wise Campaign

In 2014, CDOT’s Ride Wise campaign was recognized for excellence via various national awards. Hoping to continue this tradition, CDOT is expanding the 2015 Ride Wise campaign to include:

Philosophical messages to underscore the importance of life-long learning for riders
Billboards, online videos and print ads all crafted to deliver the message that ongoing training is necessary for safe riding (and sharp riding skills)
Motorcycle training courses provided by 13 different vendors across Colorado (These training courses reportedly include classroom education with “real-life application on controlled courses”).

CDOT Safe Riding Tips

Supporting the Ride Wise campaign is CDOT’s own Live to Ride campaign, which is focused on helping all riders – of any skill level – have fun and stay alive. The primary safety messages at the core of this campaign are as follows:

Complete rider safety training – In fact, riders have been found to be at fault for causing about 70 percent of the fatal motorcycle accidents that occur in Colorado, and lack of safety training is one of the leading contributing factors in such collisions.
Ride sober – Nearly 40 percent of riders killed in fatal motorcycle accidents in Colorado (in 2011) were drunk at the time of the collision.
Wear the right protective gear – Simply wearing a safety helmet can greatly reduce the risk of sustaining fatal injuries in motorcycle crashes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst. If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again! The amount of gratitude I feel for these people simply can't be put into just one small review. Hopefully others that may be facing unfortunate hardships and need the legal help see this and make the call. Just do it!

Michael and Ben possess extensive knowledge of the insurance sector and will not hesitate to inform you if they believe the case lacks merit. Their guidance provided to our shared client during the legal consultation was exceptional. I highly recommend their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer  only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being  Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story. These 2 people are really there for you! I would refer them and consider them even only after a couple of visits at first they make you feel so comfortable to talk to. They have certainly have made us a friend of there's for life and don't need to ever! look for attorney else where if I ever need legal advice.
