Wear a helmet. This is the law in Ohio and West Virginia. It is also important to obey the rules of the road. Remember that often, other drivers cannot see you or do not see you quickly enough. Therefore, avoid impulsive movements such as darting into another lane or suddenly passing a vehicle. Remember that most drivers have a blind spot. If you can't see the driver's face in his rear view mirror, he probably can't see you either, so move further forward or fall back a little. In general, safe motorcycle riding calls for more caution and attention to surrounding vehicles.
