Motorcycle Safety Tips

Many people are drawn to motorcycles because of the intensity and excitement riding provides. What motorcycles add in terms of speed and excitement, they may lose in safety, especially when compared to cars and trucks. However, the risks associated with riding motorcycles can be reduced with some simple safety precautions.

Motorcycle riders can improve the barrier between themselves and the road with the proper gear. Quality leather jackets and pants, helmets, gloves, and nonskid boots can protect the body from severe injuries.

Reflective tape added to clothing can help motorcyclists become more visible to other drivers. Otherwise, wearing bright-colored clothing and riding with others as a group increases visibility.

Motorcycle riders are advised to not take an unfamiliar bike into busy traffic. If the bike has never been ridden before, the rider should become familiar with its handling and responsiveness in a controlled area that is not full of traffic before taking it on the open road.

Motorcycle riders should never assume a driver sees them. Staying out of blind spots and steering clear of turning vehicles can help.

Riding in the rain or in other difficult conditions is riskier since the roads are slippery. Riders should slow down or keep their bike at home in inclement weather.

Riders should also remove distractions while on a motorcycle. Cell phones should be stowed away so one’s attention is not drawn away from the road.

Riders should remain sober and alert and never ride while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including over-the-counter medications that may cause drowsiness. Also, riders should do not drive while drowsy.

Motorcyclists need to be very careful about road obstacles such as uneven road surfaces, fallen branches, oil slicks, and wet spots. According to ConsumerSafety. org, a motorcycle has less contact with the road than a car, making it more likely to skid out of control or throw a rider.

By following the aforementioned suggestions, motorcyclists may stay safe on the road.
