A group called ABATE of Utah wants to remind drivers of the importance of sharing the road with motorcyclists and bicycles.
B.Y. Hepworth said, "We're trying to get everyone aware to look three and four times when they're at stop signs or there on the road. Just be aware the motorcyclists are out there, and share the road with us."
