It may still be winter, but spring-like temperatures will have some motorcyclists getting in some miles.
The warmer weather forecast prompted the Nebraska State Patrol to issue a reminder for drivers to “share the road.”
Motorcycle fatalities:
2015: 26
2014: 20
2013: 14
“According to data from the Nebraska Department of Roads, six of the 26 motorcycle fatalities that occurred in 2015 happened during the months of January and March,” officials said.
Hopefully people are able to get out and enjoy the day! Remember to look out for motorcycles. This weather brings them out. #sharetheroad
