Motorcycle Driving Tips

Motorcyclists are very vulnerable on roads, and even if you have been riding for a while, it’s always good to remember the basics on how to keep yourself safe whilst driving.

• Don’t ride too closely to the kerb
• Ride midway between the kerb and the central white line so you can be seen
• Never assume that other drivers can see you
• Consider using your horn to warn unaware drivers
• Ride slowly between lanes of traffic
• Give yourself space from cars in front of you
• Adjust your speed to weather and road conditions
• Be patient and cautious
• Use a bright coloured helmet and protective clothing
