Post #31 Troopers issued 753 warnings during April. SFC Tabb reminds motorists to keep a watchful eye for motorcycles. With the warmer weather upon us, more people are out riding. Keep in mind that motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles and can sometimes be overlooked when we tend to get in a hurry. Take a second look at intersections and crossings and yield the right of way.
