Ride defensively — Don’t assume that a driver
can see you even if eye contact is made. Nearly two-thirds of all motorcycle
accidents are caused by a driver violating a rider’s right of way.
You should always ride with your headlights on; watch for turning vehicles;
stay out of a driver’s blind spot; signal well in advance of any
change in direction; and watch for turning vehicles.
Keep your riding skills honed through education —
According to stated statistics, more than 90% of riders involved in accidents
have no formal training, and nearly half of these riders are unlicensed
or improperly licensed. Complete a formal riding education program, get
licensed and take riding courses from time to time to develop riding techniques
and to sharpen your street-riding strategies.
Be awake and ride sober — More than half of all
motorcycle fatalities occur when the rider has been drinking. Don’t
drink and ride, you could cause harm to yourself and others. Additionally,
fatigue and drowsiness can impair your ability to react, so make sure
that you are well rested when you hit the road.
