Study Notes
Vehicle and Motorcycle Safety
- Collisions are most frequent at intersections, highlighting the need for extra caution in these areas.
- Always check your mirrors and look left before changing lanes to ensure safety.
Turning Techniques
- To turn correctly on a motorcycle, press left and lean left.
- In slow, tight turns, lean the motorcycle while keeping your body straight.
- Maintain steady speed or gradually accelerate during a turn for better control.
- Look through the turn to where you want to go to assist in balance and direction.
Traffic Management
- Searching ahead is crucial for making good judgments in traffic.
- Use both brakes every time you slow or stop to maintain control and stability.
- When riding with a passenger, start slowing down sooner to adjust for the added weight.
Emergency Maneuvers
- Separate braking from swerving for effective hazard avoidance.
- If the front tire goes flat, apply the rear brake and steer to the edge of the road safely.
Collision Awareness
- Following too closely can lead to accidents; drop back farther from the vehicle ahead to increase space.
- The first cognitive impact of alcohol consumption affects judgment, emphasizing the importance of sobriety while riding.
Riding Dynamics
- Keep loads low and forward on the motorcycle to maintain balance.
- When riding over road obstacles, rise slightly off the seat for better impact absorption.
Distance and Visibility
- Increase following distance and use low beams at night for better visibility.
- Ride where the vehicle driver can see you in their rearview mirror to avoid potential collisions.
Lane Positioning
- For oncoming traffic near intersections, prefer the center or right portion of your lane.
- Avoid riding in the center of the lane on wet roads, as it tends to be the most slippery.
Equipment and Protection
- Wearing a securely fastened helmet significantly increases survival chances in a collision.
- A face shield provides the best eye and face protection over goggles or windshields.
Technical Skills
- Proper mirror adjustment is essential when riding with a passenger to ensure full visibility.
- If your throttle sticks, squeeze the clutch and use the engine cutoff switch to stop the motorcycle safely.
Group Riding Dynamics
- Riders in a group should shift from staggered to single-file formation when turning corners to maintain order and safety.
Miscellaneous
- Riders should allow more room for stopping when on unfamiliar motorcycles, aiding in safer maneuvers.
- The steering of a motorcycle may feel heavy when the front tire is flat, indicating a loss of control.
Collision Causes
- The primary cause of motorcycle/vehicle collisions at intersections is drivers entering a rider's right of way, necessitating vigilance from riders.
