Remain a good distance from large vehicles, especially when they are about to turn. Large vehicles make wide turns, and have large blind spots. Moving into the space that opens up as a large vehicle swings out to make its turn could result in the motorcyclist being hit, since the driver of the large vehicle will most likely not be able to see the motorcycle.

Bright colours such as red and yellow are recommended. Reflective vests and reflective stripes on helmets and jackets are also beneficial.

Black ice is so named because the ice forms such a thin layer that it can't be seen even on the black asphalt. It builds everywhere, but especially on bridges. This happens because bridges are prone to severely cold air from below and the drastic drop in temperature causes a thin layer of ice to form.

It is important to maintain a blocking position when driving a motorcycle from a curb lane into a curb lane. When turning left, maintain a left tire track position and when turning right, maintain a right tire track position.

Motorcyclists should always adjust lane position according to road conditions. When driving around a blind curve, keep an eye out for slick spots, road ruts, debris or bumps.
