Call #: ECU/07/BA/13//
Alfred King instructing Patty Jenkins on motorcycle safety. Press release: "Get your speed up. Put pressure on those pegs. Those pegs give you control," yells Dr. Alfred King, coordinator of the East Carolina University Traffic Safety Center. Dr. King is teaching motorcycle safety to high school driver education teachers. Using an electric bullhorn, King walks casually amid the flurry of bright red, blue, orange and metallic colored cycles encouraging the class of 15 men and women riders to practice the fundamentals of motorcycle maneuvers and safety. He frequently calls for a rider to sound his horn, switch on his lights or come to a halt. Often the beginning rider hesitates and fumbles in selecting the correct switch or chokes the machine off when making a quick stop. "This is one of the problems with beginning riders," Dr. King said. "They are not familiar with the machine and are unable to react quickly in a hazardous situation."
