Slow Down

One of the main reasons motorcyclists get injured is because of speed. Motorcyclists must always travel at a safe speed. The tire traction on a motorcycle decreases as you go faster. You always want to be in a situation where you can adequately stop your motorcycle in case you have to. Whether this is on a gravel road, a turn, or when entering an intersection, slowing down will significantly reduce your risk of getting injured.

Follow the Rules of the Road

Those who ride motorcycles know the skill and thrill of riding. However, it has been shown that many motorcyclists who get into accidents disregard or break the rules of the road. Knowing what you should do, and then actually doing it, can keep you from getting into an accident or injury on your motorcycle.

Never Ride Between Active Traffic and Parked Cars

When you ride between two cars, your motorcycle becomes a blind spot to both the driver of the car and other motorists approaching from the side. Drivers may not see you when they change lanes, or if they do, they may have to move further into their lane to accommodate for you. It is best if you always avoid riding directly between active traffic and parked cars.

Do Not Drink and Drive

Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of accidents involving motor vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians. This is a phrase that we have heard our whole life and one that we should always keep in mind. When it comes to being a safe driver, our number one priority should be keeping ourselves and everyone around us out of harm’s way.

Perform Regular Maintenance

One of the best ways to reduce the risk of getting injured while riding a motorcycle is to perform regular maintenance. It is highly recommended that you get your bike checked and serviced at your local mechanic at least once every six months. Keep in mind that sometimes issues can be quick and easy fixes, like your tires not being inflated properly or a loose fuel cap. Other times, you may need to replace worn-out parts or change out fluids.
