| Indeed it is and since I work on a government installation sometimes I get to attend some classes designed to make those of us who ride - more aware of the risks.
I wish the cage drivers had a similar class - to make them more aware of the risk they present to those of us on two wheels. |

| And in all fairness - the Army is really trying so I can't fault them. They stress safety all the time. Good website for safety info: https://safety.army.mil/povmotorcyclesafety/ |

| When I click on the link in your post Dale, I get the following warning message from firefox (I don't know if I should ignore it or not)
"This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to safety.army.mil, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details
safety.army.mil uses an invalid security certificate."
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. |

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. I get this same message. I chose not to go there.It may be safe but |

| My fault, I forgot about the certificates (actually had not noticed the "https"), the site is safe if you choose to "trust" it. They won't present a certificate to any computer that has not been configured or registered throught the "Army Knowledge Network" (AKO). If you are a retiree, you can access this page through the AKO. If not - the certificate error will be presented. |
