Motorcycle Accident Tips for Riders

On Behalf of | Feb 15, 2020 | Auto Safety

Because of a motorcycle’s sheer size, the bike and its rider are more susceptible to accidents if vehicle drivers are acting with negligence. Although risky, riding a motorcycle can be fun and thrilling! When you’re on the road, make sure you follow these safety tips to reduce your chances of being involved in a motorcycle accident:

Prep Your Bike

Before taking a drive, make sure your motorcycle is prepared for the ride. For example, check the tires for enough tread, ensure your headlights are working properly, double check your gas and oil levels, confirm your brakes work properly, and consider all other safety-related measures. If your bike is in top-notch shape, it will better equip you to avoid a motorcycle accident.

Ride Defensively

Unfortunately, many drivers do not obey the mantra, “Look Twice. Save a Life. Motorcycles are Everywhere.” However, you can follow this important saying! Make sure you look twice before turning, changing lanes, or proceeding through a green light. Never assume that a vehicle driver can see you; therefore, leave plenty of space and ride defensively.

Be Alert

As with driving any vehicle, fatigue and drowsiness can severely hinder your reaction time. If you are exhausted, wait to ride your motorcycle until you are rested. Don’t try to compensate your lack of energy with coffee and energy drinks, as these will wear off.
