SANTA BARBARA, CA – May 13, 2025
The Santa Barbara Police Department is reminding drivers to always look twice for motorcycles. With the arrival of warmer weather, more motorcycles are taking to the roads, making it essential for everyone to stay alert to help reduce crashes and save lives. “Motorcycles may be difficult to spot, so be extra careful before changing lanes,” Traffic Officer C. Powell said. “A simple double take can make a life-saving difference. Motorcycle riders do not have the same protections drivers and passengers do. Let's all do our part to keep each other safe out there.”
