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.

If the motorcycle begins to wobble, do not accelerate. Maintain a firm grip on the handlebars and slow down steadily until it is safe to stop.

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.

Lights come on automatically with newer models, but the lights must be switched on manually for older motorcycles. Keep headlights and taillights switched on at all times for greater visibility, and so that you do not need to switch them on while driving.

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.

The traction and the braking ability of your motorcycle will be negatively affected in case of improper tire tread. The tire tread should be even and the minimum depth of the tire tread should be 1.5mm to ensure the best braking.

Placing the helmet on the ground near the bike is a universal signal to alert other drivers that help is needed.

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.

Remain a good distance from large vehicles, especially when they are about to turn. Large vehicles make wide turns, and have large blind spots. Moving into the space that opens up as a large vehicle swings out to make its turn could result in the motorcyclist being hit, since the driver of the large vehicle will most likely not be able to see the motorcycle.

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.
