WARNING!
When riding in the dark, always make sure that the bike is fitted with suitable reflectors
and a white front light and a red rear light.
It is essential that other road users can clearly see you when riding in the dark. Always wear bright,
reflective clothing. Suitable reflectors should be fitted to the front and rear of the bike and if possible
the wheels. A white light must be fitted to the front of the bike and a red light at the rear.
Before starting any journey in the dark or even twilight, ensure the lights are working correctly and are
turned on.
Clean lights and reflectors regularly and make sure they can be seen from a distance.
WARNING!
Always take extra care when riding in wet, foggy, windy or icy conditions. The brakes may
not be as effective and the braking distances may be increased.
When riding in bad weather i.e. wet, foggy, windy or icy, always wear bright, reflective clothing which is
warm and waterproof.
You should always give other road users clear signals in plenty of time particularly when approaching
junctions. Always brake earlier than you would in the dry as the required braking distance will be
increased.
Be aware that all types of surface become greasy or slippery in bad weather. Do not turn or brake
suddenly.
It is recommended that personal music players are not used while riding a bike. These devices prevent
you from hearing approaching vehicles and may prove to be a distraction.
