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 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.

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.

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.

Even though these add-ons may look attractive, they hinder a motorcyclist's ability to perform shoulder checks and can cause the motorcyclist to tire quickly.

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.

Bright colours such as red and yellow are recommended. Reflective vests and reflective stripes on helmets and jackets are also beneficial.

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.

The edges of the road collect the most gravel, sand, and debris. Winds and the tires of fast-moving vehicles send the gravel, sand, and debris to the side. Motorcyclists should steer clear of road edges when entering or leaving a freeway or when making turns at intersections.

In addition to decreasing the amount of time spent at the M2 level, a motorcycle safety course teaches relevant driving skills and provides invaluable instructions on safety.
