Motorcyclists must maintain 5-metres' distance from the nearest railway track at railway crossings.
There is more to shifting gears than simply getting the motorcycle to accelerate smoothly. Accidents can occur if the gears are used incorrectly, when downshifting, turning, or starting on hills.
When braking hard in a turn, the driver must follow the principles of "straighten, square, squeeze" and practice them.
Sand and gravel usually collect along the side of the pavement.
Motorcycle riders must maintain at least a 2-to-3-seconds' safe following distance from other vehicles.
The motorcycle rider should never ride between two lanes, as each lane is designed for only one vehicle.
Only is provided by the rear brake.
The driver must hold the handgrips firmly so as to not lose grip if the motorcycle bounces.
Using a lower gear while going down a hill acts as a brake.
Motorcycle riders must stop for pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections.
A vehicle making a left turn across your path is one of the leading causes of collisions at intersections. To cut down your chances of being hit, approach slowly and move to the right.
The motorcycle must be equipped with a larger seat and separate footrests for a passenger.
Motorcycle riders must enter into the access path and then into the acceleration zone and slowly merge into highway traffic.
When the chain locks the rear wheel, maintain control and pull over immediately.
Motorcycle riders must check their mirrors every 5-7 seconds to watch the traffic behind them.
The only time the driver shouldn't use the front brake is when the surface is extremely slippery (e.g. with ice).
The centre part of the lane is more slippery due in wet conditions. Motorcyclists should avoid that particular area.
The driver should do a quick shoulder check before changing the lane position, position within a lane, or before turning off the roadway.
