Special care should be taken when towing a trailer with a motorcycle. The trailer must have a mandatory white plate light, two red reflectors on the rear and a red tail light.

Railway crossings are potentially hazardous due to the fact that trains travel much faster than they seem, and cannot stop quickly. It can take 2 km or more for a train to stop even when brakes are fully applied. Never depend on a train to be able to stop on time to avoid you, and drive on only once the train has passed. Other hazards at railway crossings may include having to stop for other vehicles, and the loss of traction which can occur because train tracks are slippery at all times, and more so when they are wet.

The throttle is located on the right handgrip and helps control the speed of the motorcycle. When twisted inward towards the rider the throttle releases fuel which flows to the engine.

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.

Drivers should pull off the road when feeling tired or when needing to check anything. Ensure that the spot is away from the main road in order to reduce the possibility of being rear-ended or sideswiped by other vehicles.

Regular checks and repair of these parts, which can wear out over time, will help drivers avoid accident or injury. Drivers should also check the coolant and the battery of the motorcycle on a regular basis, depending upon the make of the motorcycle.

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.

Reduce speed when approaching an object or pothole and maintain a firm grip on the handlebars to ensure that the motorcycle stays upright and does not turn. While raising yourself, it is essential to grip the handlebar firmly so that your hands do not slip.
