Slowing down and maintaining a greater distance from vehicles in front is advised, especially when roads are wet and intense glare hampers other drivers’ ability to identify a motorcycle amongst all the traffic.

Positioning the motorcycle across the parking spot helps ensure that the motorcyclist has a good view of the road and that the motorcycle is visible to other vehicles on the road, especially if the road has numerous cars parked on both sides.

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.

If a stop must be made during a turn, it is important to use both brakes. Remember to use all fingers to pull in the clutch and the front brakes so that there are no shudders and shakes. Downshifting can sometimes be used as an alternative as well.

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.

Assess the possible effects of modifications in advance. Some modifications can affect performance and safety, while others might not meet legal standards; if this is the case, the modifications must not be made.

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 driver must have an M2 or M licence; M1 drivers are not permitted to carry passengers.

Any type of drug, illegal or prescribed, can impair motorcyclists’ ability to drive. Fatigue slows reflexes, and can make driving dangerous. Consuming alcohol makes driving a motorcycle especially dangerous.

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.
