Study Notes
Motorcycle Safety and Riding Tips
- A shatter-resistant face shield protects the entire face, making it essential for safety.
- More than 50% of motorcycle crashes involve riders with less than six months of experience.
- Proper head and eye movement is crucial; always turn just the head and eyes to look where you are going.
Handling Different Situations
- To handle tailgaters effectively, change lanes and allow them to pass safely.
- Reduce reaction time by covering the clutch and brakes rather than riding slowly or shifting into neutral.
- Making eye contact with drivers does not guarantee they will yield.
Visibility and Gear
- Reflective clothing should be worn at all times, both day and night, for maximum visibility.
- To stop quickly and safely, utilize both front and rear brakes simultaneously.
Riding Conditions and Challenges
- In rain, ride within the tire tracks left by vehicles for better traction.
- If the motorcycle wobbles, grip the handlebars firmly and gradually close the throttle to stabilize.
Interactions with Animals and Passengers
- If chased by a dog, approach slowly before speeding up to pass safely.
- Passengers should lean with the rider to maintain balance and avoid disrupting control.
Group Riding and Alcohol Awareness
- Inexperienced riders should position themselves just behind the group leader when riding in a formation.
- Waiting an hour per drink does not guarantee riding skills are unaffected; alcohol effects may still linger.
Communicating Intentions While Riding
- Flash the brake light when suddenly slowing down, especially if being closely followed.
- The front brake provides approximately three-quarters of the motorcycle's total stopping power.
Techniques for Maneuvering
- Correctly swerving involves pressing the handlegrip in the direction of the turn to navigate effectively.
- When approaching an intersection with a waiting vehicle, reduce speed and prepare to react appropriately.
