MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
AW ARNING
«Motorcycle riding requires special
efforts on your part to ensure your
safety. Know these requirements
before you ride:
SAFE RIDING RULES
1. Always make a pre-ride inspection (page
39) before you start the engine. You
may prevent an accident or equipment
damage.
2.Many accidents involve inexperienced
riders. Most countries require a special
motorcycle riding test or license. Make
sure you are qualified before you ride.
NEVER lend your motorcycle to an
inexperienced rider.
3. Many automobile/motorcycle accidents
happen because the automobile driver
does not "see" the motorcyclist.
Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid
the accident that wasn't your fault:
e Wear bright or reflective clothing.
e Don't ride in another motorist's "blind
spot."
4.Obey all national and local laws and
regulations.
e Excessive speed is a factor in many
accidents. Obey the speed limits, and
NEVER travel faster than conditions
warrant.
e Signal before you make a turn or lane
change. Your size and maneuverability
can surprise other motorists.
