Motorcycle Safety Tips
Experienced riders may already put into practice these basic motorcycle safety tips, but it is always a good idea to refresh your memory. We want motorcycle riders to be doing everything they can to ensure their safety on the road. We have your best interests in mind and, in the event of an accident, we are on your side. The most common safety tips for motorcyclists are as follows:
- Sign up for your local motorcycle safety course
- Learn how to skid, slide, and take a fall (i.e. roll on the ground)
- Wear a high-quality helmet, as well as protective riding gear
- Avoid riding in inclement weather
- Never pass on the right
- Keep headlights on, even during the day
- Never tailgate
- Keep a lookout for inattentive drivers (i.e. texting, changing the radio station, eating)
Because of a bike’s open design, smaller size, and close proximity to the pavement, motorcyclists have unique risks that other drivers don’t. Riders are more vulnerable to serious injury and even death in a collision or crash with another vehicle or object. This is why we want to hear from you if you were recently injured in a motorcycle accident in the Binghamton area.
