Safety Tips & Tools
> Motorcyclists
You and your passenger are more vulnerable than other drivers and
passengers, you do not have the protection given to them by their
vehicles and seat belts which you have to make up by the use of
your skills.
 |
Use brightly
coloured & approved protective helmets. |
|
Wear brightly
coloured protective clothing. |
|
Ride at
a speed that will allow you to deal with the unexpected
and allow you to slow down or stop. |
|
Ensure speed
is appropriate to negotiate bend without losing control,
taking account of road surface condition. |
|
Anticipate
hazards, which may be concealed by the bend, and be
able to stop in time to avoid them. |
|
Be as visible
as possible to other drivers. The simple fact is that
the motorcycles are smaller than motor vehicles and
are not as easily seen on the roads as other vehicles. |
|
Be aware
of oncoming vehicles, which may turn right across your
path. |
