DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE SAFELY
When driving your motorcycle you must pay attention to safety at all times by observing road rules and following
the six points.
1. Wear a safety helmet
This is a critical requirement for motorcycle driving. A high-quality safety helmet is essential for personal
protection as a traffic accident could cause a head injury. Therefore, be sure to wear a safety helmet and a pair
of protective glasses when driving your motorcycle.
2. Use safe driving techniques
Driving techniques and mechanical knowledge are the basis of safe driving. Familiarize yourself with your
motorcycle and practice your riding skills in a safe, controlled environment away from other vehicles. The
more you practice, the more skillful you will become.
3. Understand the various factors that determine safe driving speed
You must always ride your motorcycle within the speed limit. A safe driving speed also depends on the
road surface, the driver’s skills, and weather conditions. Adjusting your speed accordingly could prevent an
accident.
4. Wear well-fitting clothes
Loose-fitting clothing may be both uncomfortable and unsafe when driving. Wear high-quality, close-fitting,
protective clothing including a safety helmet, gloves and boots in order to protect your safety.

The braking distance in wet weather conditions is twice the normal stopping distance in dry weather. Wet
roads can be slippery and dangerous. In order to prevent slipping, avoid driving over manhole covers, paint
marks or oil stained surfaces. Avoid abrupt steering movements during acceleration. Exercise caution when
driving over railways and bridges and maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
6. Inspect your Motorcycle before driving it
