It is important to look far ahead to be prepared for potential problems. This gives drivers more time to react, helps prevent panic, and reduces the likelihood of rash decisions that could result in accidents.

Even with protective headgear, motorcyclists can be distracted and potentially hurt by debris or flying objects. Be prepared and do not panic. Panic can cause motorcyclists to make potentially fatal driving errors. Maintain a firm grip on the handlebars, drive until there is a safe place to pull over and stop, then assess any damage.

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.

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.

Communicating well with other drivers is essential for safe driving. In any given situation, motorcyclists must use appropriate methods to communicate with other drivers; in most cases, more than one method must be used to communicate well.

When carrying a passenger, drive slowly and leave more space between vehicles since the motorcycle will respond slower due to the extra weight.

It is important to ensure that you are clearly visible to all the other drivers on the freeway. Using the turn signal at the entrance ramp ensures that freeway traffic can see the motorcycle, and you, as early as possible.

Full-faced helmets offer the best protection. A wide variety of sizes and styles are available for full-faced helmets. It is advisable to pick helmets with bright colours and reflective strips or patches.

The newly-purchased vehicle must be registered within 6 days at a Driver and License Issuing Office. At the time of registration, the purchaser must present a Used Vehicle Information package, usually provided by the seller, which includes required details about the vehicle.

Reducing speed as the motorcycle approaches the intersection gives the motorcyclist time to assess the intersection and react in case of other drivers' errors.
