Many drivers struggle spotting motorcyclists on the road. When you are driving near a car, assume the driver cannot see you. Avoid any potential blind spots and ride directly in front or behind of a car. Steer clear of all obstructions in the roads, including, gravel, puddles, and branches.
Riding in between cars during times of traffic can be extremely dangerous, especially riding between an active lane and a lane of parked traffic. Resist the urge to swerve in between gridlocked cars, as well as the urge to operate your motorcycle at high speeds. Follow speed limits as marked on the roads and allow yourself time to slow before taking sharp turns on your motorcycle.
Avoid drinking alcohol of any kind when operating your motorcycle. Half of all motorcycle accidents in the United States involve alcohol. If you have had too much to drink, call a taxi or rideshare. Remember, it’s better to have to come back for your motorcycle than to get into a fatal accident.
Motorcycle helmets, riding boots, gloves, protective clothing, and body armor are all important parts of riding your motorcycle. Wearing the right gear can make all the difference when it comes to motorcycle collisions.
Long-term injuries are a serious concern for anyone who has been involved in a motorcycle accident. Many people believe that a minor motorcycle accident cannot cause serious, long-term injury. However, medical research shows that even a minor mishap can cause lasting damage to muscle and soft tissue, as well as displace spinal discs or cause neck and spinal injuries that can be very serious. After being involved in a motorcycle accident, many people cannot visibly see an injury or immediately feel pain. As such, they dismiss seeking immediate medical attention to assess their health after the motorcycle accident. It is important to remember that the adrenaline one feels after being involved in a motorcycle crash can mask pain. Inflammation may also take up to three days to take place in the body after a motorcycle accident. It is even possible to have fractures or tears in tissue without immediately knowing.
