Motorcycle Safety Tips

KNOW YOUR TRAFFIC LAWS, ROAD SIGNS AND SIGNALS.

  1. Always Wear A Helmet
    It’s the law. Choose a helmet that is safety approved and fits snug.
  2. Be Visible
    Clothes must be bright, flourescent or even iridescent. Avoid blind spots and always use your headlights day and night.
  3. Signal
    Use your signals. Always wait on the green light. Look right, left and right again before you ride off.
  4. Keep A Safe Distance
    Never tailgate. Give enough time and space to react to motorists’ actions.
  5. Use Both Brakes
    Brake smart. Apply both brakes slowly and steady.
  6. Pre-Ride Check
    Do a thorough pre-ride inspection: tires, petrol, lights, brakes and horn.
  7. Avoid Distractions
    Keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the handlebars and your mind on driving.
  8. Watch Your Speed
    Obey posted speed limits.
  9. Never Drink Or Use Drugs & Ride
    Alcohol and drugs impair your ability to judge and react. The same laws regarding drinking and driving apply to motorcyclists.
  10. Be Alert
    Keep a look out for pedestrians and cyclists in your path.
