Make safety your priority when you ride your motorcycle.<br /><br />Here are some interesting Motorcycle Safety Tips:<br /><br />Operating a motorcycle takes different important skills than driving a car. However, the important laws of the road apply to every driver just the same. A combination of consistent education, regard for traffic laws and basic common sense can truly help reduce the amount of fatalities involved in motorcycle accidents every year. It is sure important to understand some basic motorcycle safety tips to make sure your ride is a safe one.<br /><br />- Always wear a helmet with a face shield or protective eye wear.<br />Wearing a helmet is the best way to protect against all kinds of head injuries. A motorcycle rider not wearing a helmet is 5 times more likely to sustain a critical head injury. It's really easy to fall off a motorcycle and hit your head.<br /><br />- Wear appropriate gear. Make sure to wear protective gear and clothing that will minimize the amount of injuries in case of an accident. Skids can happen. Wearing leather clothing, boots with nonskid soles, and gloves can protect your body from severe injuries. Falling on the road at high speed creates lots of friction. Consider attaching reflective tape or other bright colors to your clothing to make it easier for other drivers to see you.<br /><br />- Follow traffic rules. Obey the speed limit. Be aware of local traffic laws and rules of the road. A fall at a higher speed is more dangerous.<br /><br />- Ride Defensively. Don't assume that a driver can always see you. Approximately 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. Of course, stay out of a driver's blind spot. Be sure to signal well in advance of any change in direction. Pay attention and watch for turning vehicles.<br /><br />- Keep your riding skills honed through education. Complete a formal riding education program, get licensed and take riding courses from time to time to develop riding techniques and to sharpen your important street-riding strategies.<br /><br />- Be conscious. Be awake. Ride sober. Don't drink and drive. 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.<br /><br />- Preparing To Ride is important. Making sure that your excellent motorcycle is fit for the road is just as important as practicing safe riding. Should something be wrong with your motorcycle, it will be in your best interest to find out prior to hitting the road. To make sure that your motorcycle is in good working order. Check the tires, under the motorcycle, high and low beams, Hydraulic and Coolant fluids, clutch and throttle, mirrors, brakes and the sound of the horn.Igor Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03881220124525094524noreply@blogger.com
