Daytona Bike Week

Bikers, police and residents hoped this year would be much better than in 2007, especially when it came to deaths during Bike Week.

Last year, eight bikers were killed on Central Florida roads during the event, but there was some controversy over the number of deaths.

Some families said their loved ones were not attending the events when they died, but state troopers said they classify any motorcycle fatality in Volusia County during the 10-day period as a Bike Week death.

During Bike Week, local police officers and deputies said they would be cracking down on careless drivers who are on two and four wheels.

Some of the things police would be looking for include people running red lights, speeding, violating the right of way laws ,and improper turns and lane changes.

Daytona Bike Week, 2008 is in it's fourth day and five riding deaths reported already.
