Two-wheelers: our tips for driving safely on road

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.
