Avoid other drivers’ blind spots whenever possible. Use caution when you have no choice but to drive in someone's blind spot. If possible, avoid having other vehicles drive in your blind spot: slow down, speed up, or change lanes as the situation warrants.

Be careful. Drive slowly, adjusting your speed for the situation. Maintain maximum distance between your motorcycle and the other vehicle by moving to the right lane if possible, or by stopping if necessary.

Motorcycles should be inspected before each use. Regular maintenance helps ensure safe operation of a motorcycle. Keeping the correct amount of oil in the engine is essential.

Use the right tire track. This ensures other drivers on the road can see the motorcyclist clearly and will help keep them from entering the lane in which the motorcyclist is driving at the time.

The throttle is located on the right handgrip and helps control the speed of the motorcycle. When twisted inward towards the rider the throttle releases fuel which flows to the engine.

It is important to signal your lane change, to communicate with traffic, the change in direction you are planning on taking.

Mirrors play an important role in keeping track of what is on the road around the motorcycle. Use of mirrors should be combined with shoulder checks for maximum safety; neither should be used as a replacement for the other.

Maintain control over the motorcycle by using the knees to grip the gas tank firmly. Hold onto the handlebars properly so that if the motorcycle bounces you will not lose control over it.

Moving from the blocking position toward the centre of the lane helps maintain a safe distance from passing vehicles. By keeping out of harm’s way in this manner, motorcyclists are safer and less likely to be struck by passing vehicles.

Slowing down and maintaining a greater distance from vehicles in front is advised, especially when roads are wet and intense glare hampers other drivers’ ability to identify a motorcycle amongst all the traffic.
