Suggestions to reduce and prevent motorcycle accidents
As the years pass, the motorcycle accidents are increasing and they have an increasing risk as they reach speeds the bikes are growing. Motorcycle accidents are caused by different factors, such as: mechanical failure, human error, weather, road conditions, inattention, carelessness, and so on. While these risks can not be avoided altogether, if we can reduce the chances of participating in an accident and injured out of them. Here are some suggestions for you to consider that will help reduce traffic accidents or reduce the consequences, if you have an accident on your bike.
Always use a helmet and other protection as goggles, gloves, long pants, boots and jacket. The helmet will protect the head in case of accident and the motorcyclist special clothing will protect you, to a lesser extent, other body parts in case of accident or possible insect bites. The glasses are important because it prevents any particles or throw you in the eye bug that could cause you an accident.
Use both brakes at once to stop. If at the time to stop using the front and rear brake at the same time, the motorcycle will keep a balance and not slip on the pavement. In general, motorists using only the rear brake, often without knowing that 75% of stopping power of a motorcycle is in your front brake. It should be noted that it is required to use only the front brake for more stopping power that is greater. If you are a high speed and only stop with the front brake, inertia would lead us out shot forward.
Do not take more than a passenger on the motorcycle. If the motorcycle going more than two people, you may lose your balance and therefore there can be a disaster. It is also important to note that many policies make it clear that lose their validity if it were shown that at the time of the accident more people were allowed on the motorcycle.
Bring the lights on. Do not forget the lights warn others you are traveling.
Be cautious when driving. To be a responsible motorcycle driver should know that we need to maintain your lane always, to look closely at the cross streets and you do not overextend yourself in speed.
Always check the mirrors to make any moves. If you stop to any unexpected or make a sharp turn, look in your rearview mirrors before because if you do not look behind you, you may cause or be the victim of an accident involving a car or motorcycle that follows you very closely or you are advancing.
If the pavement is wet or has puddles, oil, sand or dirt on the pavement, leading to even greater caution.
You accept that the rules are the same for a car for a bike. In other words, you can travel on sidewalks, between cars or in ways that are not intended for circulation. Similarly, we must respect all the lights and traffic signals. The fact that the bike is a vehicle smaller than a car does not mean you have to leverage the size to make things that are not allowed. Nor should we try to move in traffic, for example, of all vehicles stopped trying to take the minimum clearances to pass.
If you drive, do not drink, as your reflexes will be clearly reduced. Moreover, in case of an accident, your insurance company will not insure you and you’re facing a serious problem.
When you’re not in a mood optimal or particularly tired you are, do not drive and if you have to do, do it very slowly, because when you’re tired, worried, or altered in any way, your attention span and reaction is greatly reduced.
