Driving in heavy fog is dangerous, especially for motorcyclists, so it is best not to continue driving in heavy fog. It is important not to stop in the left lane, or any part of the road that is used by traffic, since vehicles approaching from behind may not be able to see you in time to stop.

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.

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.

One should never secure the cargo to the back of the seat since this changes the weight and balance of the motorcycle by changing the centre of gravity.

Cargo must be secured in a low position. If cargo must be placed on both sides of the motorcycle, be certain to distribute the weight of the cargo evenly on both sides so that balance will not be affected.

It is dangerous to ignore other drivers or allow them to share a lane with the motorcycle. Maintaining proper blocking position is the most reliable method of discouraging other drivers from trying to share lanes. When driving in the right lane the blocking position is the left tire track under normal conditions; when driving in the left lane, the blocking position is normally the right tire track. It is unsafe to drive in the centre lane because there is no effective blocking position.

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.

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.

Motorcyclists need to use their mirrors properly to ensure they are aware of their surroundings. Mirrors help motorcyclists see traffic around them, giving them greater safety. Motorcyclists should check mirrors every 5 to 7 seconds. Even after checking the mirrors, it is important for motorcyclists to do a shoulder check to visually confirm the traffic situation in advance of any action, be it turning, slowing down, changing lanes and so on.

Since the degree of damage experienced in motorcycle accidents is greater than with other motor vehicles, it is essential to perform a thorough inspection of the motorcycle to ensure that it is safe to drive.
