Lane splitting refers to driving between vehicles in adjacent lanes (ie. along the white line between lanes). It is very dangerous because the slightest shift in position from any of the other vehicles can result in an accident since there is very little room for the motorcyclist to maneuver.

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

A seized engine means the engine has frozen or become locked. There are usually some warning signs before this happens, so motorcyclists have some time to react before the engine seizes and the wheels lock. It is important to stop and pull over before that happens.

It is best to drive around objects on the road, but if you are unable to do so, use special care when driving over the object. Grip the handlebars firmly, maintain a straight path, and use the footrests to rise slightly above the seat. To protect the front suspension somewhat, apply the throttle, but only slightly. To maintain better control of the bike, avoid stiffening up.

The rider must also wear a helmet at all times. The motorcycle must be registered. The rider must have valid liability insurance.

Stopping on a freeway is dangerous. Backing up or driving in the wrong direction is illegal, unless under the direction of a traffic officer. If an exit is missed, continue driving until the next exit, where it is safe to pull off the highway and plan an alternate route. In most places where there is an off-ramp, there is a corresponding on-ramp for the opposite direction, providing a safe way to travel back to the missed exit. Alternatively, local roads can be used to get back to the correct exit.

Mirrors give a strong general idea of the situation on the road, but they do not provide an image of the road that is 100% accurate. All vehicles, including motorcycles, have blind spots, so it is important to always perform a shoulder check before changing lanes.

Being prepared for any kind of circumstance on the road is one of the biggest hallmarks of a skilled motorcyclist. The ability to anticipate and respond appropriately to dangerous situations is what separates good drivers from average and not-so-good ones. It is important to be able to anticipate and be ready for all suddenly-changing circumstances in order to respond properly. Anticipating dangers before they occur can also prevent panic and nervousness, both of which can further complicate situations where the motorcyclist already faces danger.

Motorcyclists should only drive in a right or left lane in order to have a blocking position. Blocking positions are important because they prevent other drivers from driving too close to the motorcycle.

It is essential to maintain a proper road position to stay safe on the road.
