Nighttime speeds over 55 mph will cause you to over-ride your headlights and don't allow you to react in time to avoid a collision. In fact, 45 mph or slower is a better operating speed that will enable you to spot hazards and greatly increase your chances of stopping safely.

Last winter, most of Wisconsin's fatal accidents occurred at night and more than two-thirds of those were speed related.

For a safe and enjoyable ride this season, slow down and don't drink alcohol until AFTER the ride.
