Motorcycle Safety Tips to Prevent Motorcycle Injury
The right gear. Helmets and leathers help keep your skin where it belongs… on your face and body. This piece of motorcycle safety equipment is the center of a hot debate. While there are arguments about potential neck injuries from wearing helmets, a recent, and stylish, option is to add a neck brace. Racers wear neck braces and many come with edgy, padded decals to customize your look. Not only would wearing one make you look more like a racer, it could save your life. It's a win-win. Motorcycle leathers tend to be about 3 times thicker than fashion leathers. The added protection of leather vs. denim is substantial.
Defensive driving. Motorcycles are hard for drivers to see. We get that. But there are a few things a rider can do to be more visible.
- Tailgating. Don't do it. The closer you are to the car in front of you, the more invisible you are to the oncoming, left-turning drivers. Try to stay at least 2 car-lengths behind, or more if you can. The added benefit to you, is that you have more time to see and react to the left-turners crossing your lane.
- Intersections. Try to enter the intersection with another vehicle (the bigger, the better) to your right (assuming you drive in the US). If you must enter the intersection alone, try to do it from the left lane, or left track of the lane. The idea is to put as much distance between you and side-coming traffic.
Group riding. When riding with only one other rider, the lead position should be held by the most experienced person and in the left track of the lane. This ensures greatest visibility for the other riders. When riding in larger groups, find a group that you are comfortable in. If you find yourself in a group that has very loose motorcycle safety habits, politely excuse yourself at the next stop. Most groups are conscientious of the varying skill levels of members, and therefore offer less ‘thrills' and a safer ride for all rider levels. Also, make sure that the lead and drag positions are held by your most experienced and skilled riders.
Maintenance. If your motorcycle needs repairs, make sure to allow time to ‘break in' the repairs. You don't want to be riding down the road only to discover a loose bolt dislodges an important piece of equipment. Drive the bike a few weeks before going out on a long tour to prevent a devastating motorcycle injury.
Following standard motorcycle safety rules can help you make sure you get through this ride to enjoy the next one. If you do find yourself with a motorcycle injury, be sure to find an experienced motorcycle injury attorney, like the ones at Sieben, Grose, VonHoltum and Carey, the "Know Your Rights" lawyers.
