This year, motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson celebrated its 110th anniversary. No doubt in part due to the success of Harley-Davidson, motorcycle riding has greatly increased in popularity over the last decade. With more and more motorcyclists hitting the road, the number of motorcycle related accidents has also increased. In fact, in 2011, there were 4,612 motorcycle accident related fatalities in the United States. Also in 2011, approximately 81,000 motorcyclists nation-wide were injured in accidents.

Nobody wants to find themselves on the highway in a sea of heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic is not only an unwelcome inconvenience it is also much more difficult than driving on a clear roadway. Heavy traffic requires a motorist's full attention and utmost concentration. A motorist that is not fully engaged in driving while on a congested roadway puts him or herself in danger of becoming involved in an accident.
