Further safe-riding points

Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the vehicle could slide.
2
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed a turn, accelerate
slowly.
Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the vehicle up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.
The brake pads or linings could
get wet when you wash the vehi-
cle. After washing the vehicle,
check the brakes before riding.
Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly colored jacket.
Do not carry too much luggage on
the vehicle. An overloaded vehicle
is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carrier
(if equipped). A loose load will af-
fect the stability of the vehicle and
could divert your attention from
the road. (See page 2-3.)
