DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Thousands of bikers are roaring into Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest.
More than 100,000 people are expected to turn out to this year's festival, which will include everything from concerts, motorcycle races at the Speedway, coleslaw wrestling and more.
Researchers say the annual event, in its 22nd year, brings in over $40 million to the local economy.
The Florida Highway Patrol urged drivers to "look twice (to) save a life" saying motorists need to take a second look before making left turns and pulling out from side streets or driveways.
Troopers said during 2014 Biketoberfest, there were 51 crashes in Volusia County that involved motorcycles. Three of those crashes turned deadly.
In the last three years, there have been 138 crashes involving motorcycles and eight traffic fatalities.
Troopers also reminded drivers not to drink and drive.
