TWO WHEELS - On
the road, two-wheelers without wearing safety clothing are much more
vulnerable than motorists. But some good practices can save your life...
Well-Equipped
Before contact, it
must be equipped to ride safely. In the absence of body, wear suitable clothing
at any time is a necessity, even if it is hot. Helmet, leather gloves should
cover your skin. These equipments help you avoid fractures, burns and abrasions.
The vest-airbag can save your life by cushioning a fall or shock. A reflective
vest sure
to be seen in bad weather or at night and can avoid an accident. In addition,
it should also make sure that your equipment is well at your waist and meet
current standards.
Anticipation,
distance, vigilance
Being biker is to
show vigilance at all times. Intersections, changes in files... The pitfalls
are many. Look away, anticipate, and use your mirrors. You must also bring your
attention to the behavior of other road users. Another tip: when you drive
along parked cars, observe if possible a distance of 1.50 m.
There is no point
running…
Speed makes the
difference. A trend reinforced by the end of the clamping motorcycles. It is
actually to adapt their speed to the circumstances and traffic: Never forget
that drivers of cars or heavy trucks may be surprised by your arrival. By
reducing its speed, a biker can gain precious meters on its stopping distance
(remember, you need 85 m to stop at a motorcycle traveling at 90 km / h).
Warning passenger
Raise a passenger
on his motorcycle or scooter is nothing trivial. Upon leaving, do not forget
that the increased weight or raising the center of gravity have an impact on
the behavior of your vehicle. In addition, you are responsible for your passenger;
it is your duty to check his equipment. Do not hesitate to recall the basic
advice, especially if you bring with you a child in safety vest or a person
unaccustomed to this type of vehicle.
