It is essential to understand that while all controls are important in the overall usage and functioning of a motorcycle, the essential controls are the ones listed here and this list also includes front brake, handlebars and clutch.

M1 drivers are barred by law from carrying passengers. Even M2 motorcyclists are advised to avoid carrying heavy cargo or passengers as much as possible.

The expression, "right of way", is a quick way to remember that the vehicle approaching from the right is to proceed first. Some drivers do not observe the 'right of way' rule; always enter the intersection carefully, and be aware of the actions of other drivers.

The centre lane should be avoided since there is no blocking position in that lane. Motorcyclists should use the outer lanes (left if passing, right if driving with the flow of traffic); these lanes permit drivers to adopt an effective blocking position.

If the motorcycle begins to wobble, do not accelerate. Maintain a firm grip on the handlebars and slow down steadily until it is safe to stop.

M2 holders by law must have 0.00 blood alcohol level, and must not drive after having consumed alcohol. It is dangerous to operate a motorcycle after consuming alcohol.

It is essential to have fully functional horns on motorcycles; the horn is one way a motorcyclist can communicate with drivers of other vehicles.

It is important to maintain proper posture on the motorcycle in order to steer properly and maintain balance and speed. Low placement of the wrists ensures speed is not increased mistakenly; it also enables the rider to reach the front brake lever more effectively.

Staying the legal speed of traffic is a way to travel safely. However, condition of the road like rain should always be considered. Travel safely at all time.

Any time an uneven road surface results in a feeling of loss of control or shakiness, it is important to maintain a strong grip on the handlebars and avoid sudden movements or rash reactions.
