Being seen
Many motorcycle accidents are caused by car drivers who do
not see motorcycle riders on the road. To reduce the chance of an
accident, follow these guidelines:
• Wear bright clothing to increase visibility. Bright orange,
yellow or green jackets or vests and a brightly colored helmet can
help others see you.
• Always use turn signals when you are planning to turn or
merge to main roads, and turn off signal after completing turns.
• Flash brake lights whenever you are going to slow down
quickly or where others may not expect you are going to slow down.
• Stay out of blind spots of other motorists.
• When you come to an intersection, move to the portion of
your lane that will bring you into another driver’s field of sight at the
earliest possible moment.
Know Your Motorcycle
• Get training if you are inexperienced.
• Beginners should get training from a certified instructor.
• Become familiar with the motorcycle at slow speeds first.
Even if you are an experienced rider, do not attempt to operate at
maximum performance until you are very familiar with the vehicle.
• The equilibrium and stability of your motorcycle are
affected by the manner in which you load it. It is very important
that you do not install accessories that compromise the design
and concept of the motorcycle. Doing so could alter the safety of
your motorcycle.
