Sgt. Brooke Wilson with the Columbus Division of Police’s Accident Investigation Unit is sending a big warning out to riders and drivers in a social media post that he titled, “Don’t Ride Like A Jerk.”
Sgt. Wilson said, “We do have an alarming number of crashes that are related to people who are riding motorcycles like nobody has any business doing.” He added that the dangerous behavior on bikes needs to stop.
Wilson did not comment on the specific crashes, but he said the problem can often be tied to inexperience, saying, “I tried to figure out how to work that in to my discussion without honking everybody off at me, but it is I think a valid point, you know when you are riding a motorcycle you need to make sure that you were being a responsible rider.”
The crashes are currently under investigation.
