Ways to Be Safe When Riding a Motorcycle

By Darnell Garcia Austria


1.) Presume Drivers Can't See You: Drive assuming that both you and your motorcycle are entirely invisible to drivers. It means you must not feel that drivers can see you. The chances are, they can't so believe it yourself and always have an "out" for hazardous traffic occurrences. Motorbike safety relies on the driver.

2.) Keep Safe Spacing: Allow lots of space in front and back as well as the perimeters from others. Avoid traffic whenever you can. This gives you far more field of vision and enough time to react to occurrences.

3.) Expect Trouble: Assume trouble situations and know what to do when you notice them. Investigate what autos are doing and then try to anticipate the outcome. And then make sure you're ready to steer clear of a terrible traffic situation.

4.) Watch Out for Oncoming Left Turners: Be aware of oncoming road users turning left before you at crossing points. This is the leading reason behind death of bike riders. I have personally lost many friends to this accident. When you could solely remember 1 tip here, it should be this one. Stall when approaching an intersection. Have an escape option planned. Continue to be visible and don't travel too close to cars in front of you. Position your motorbike so it is visible by the left turner. Eye contact isn't enough.

5.) Drive at Your Own Pace: Don't attempt to keep up with your mates who may very well be more skillful. Know your own personal limits. Ride your own ride.

6.) Be Cautious About Curves: Be cautious about taking curves that you just can't see around. A sitting truck or a patch of sand may be awaiting you.

7.) Be Patient and Focus on the Ride: Don't fall to road rage and attempt to "get even" with another biker . If you should try these tips, more than likely you won't become a victim of road rage. It really is preferable to settle down, slow down, and get hold of your thoughts first. After that, carry on and enjoy the ride. It is precisely what we are all out there for to start with.
