Study Notes
Night Riding Considerations
- Pillion riders should wear reflective gear for visibility and safety after dark.
Overtaking Guidelines
- Riders should check mirrors, signal, and ensure sufficient space before overtaking on two-lane roads.
Braking in Wet Conditions
- When braking on wet roads, apply brakes gradually to prevent skidding.
Handling High-Speed Turns
- Riders should lean into the bend and reduce speed before entering a sharp turn to maintain control.
Caution with Elderly Drivers
- Elderly drivers may react unpredictably, so extra caution is necessary when overtaking to avoid accidents.
Dipping Headlights
- Dipping the headlight is essential to avoid dazzling other drivers, especially during nighttime or in adverse weather.
Avoiding Dazzle on Sharp Bends
- Maintain a low headlight beam while navigating sharp bends to prevent blinding oncoming traffic.
Risks of Neutral Gear
- Engaging neutral while riding can lead to loss of control and reduced braking effectiveness.
Stopping Distance on Wet Roads
- Reduced friction on wet surfaces increases the motorcycle's stopping distance, making quick stops more difficult.
Response at Traffic Lights
- When approaching a controlled junction with green lights, prioritize the safety of pedestrians, like slowing down for a crossing elderly person.
Approaching Sharp Left Bends at Night
- Slow down and use appropriate signals when nearing sharp left bends at night to enhance safety.
Free-Wheeling Effects
- Free-wheeling by shifting to neutral or using 'clutch-in mode' can result in decreased control over the motorcycle.
Centrifugal Force Management
- To reduce centrifugal force while turning sharply, lower speed and maintain a stable lean angle.
When Overtaken
- If a motorcycle is overtaking, maintain your lane position and do not accelerate to ensure a safe pass.
Lane Positioning on Two-Way Streets
- On a two-way street with two lanes in each direction, position the motorcycle towards the left side of your lane to enhance visibility and safety.
