Despite its obvious advantages, you must realize you're prone to a fall every time you decide to get on a motorcycle. Although accidents can happen in all kinds of vehicles, motorcycle accidents have outnumbered in recent years and in many occasions the situations were beyond the control of the motorcycle rider.

It Can Happen to Anyone

Accidents can affect even experienced motorcyclists due to circumstances beyond their reach which are more than usual when it comes to these vehicles. For example, motorcyclists are often hit by the carelessness of those who drive other cars and some drivers are not able to see the bikes while some others see motorcycles getting closer and refuse to give the benefit of priority.

Damage Surfaces Will Put You at Risk

Road abnormalities such as potholes, poor drainage, inadequate signage, collapsed roads are enough to call fatality so if the rider is aware of the road's poor condition, it's advised to look for a safer path or use the car instead. Also, on rainy days or in bad weather, the wheels may slide just under braking, causing a traffic accident.

Carry a Small First-Aid Kit

Abrasions are common injuries for bike riders. When you fall without adequate protection, your skin becomes your shield and, after a fall, the slightest touch will cause a  wound due to the surface's texture but,  the remains of dirt and asphalt can cause an infection. A first-aid kit will come in handy to disinfect and cover superficial injuries but you must remove any dirt and wash the wound thoroughly as soon as you can. Then, apply a disinfectant again and cover the abrasion with gauze or a bandage.

Improper Speed - a Danger to Motorists

Speed influences motorcycle accidents. Specifically, inadequate speed, which is generally excessive. The speed is closely related to the safety distance, the ability to anticipate or what is known as the "tunnel effect". For that reason, within the established limits, good motorcyclists must always adapt their speed to the circumstances of the road. This is the only way to react and stop the vehicle safely and in time. Remember, accidents have a lot to do with the condition of the road and that of the motorcycle's tires, suspensions, and brakes.

Stand out on the Road

You must make sure that you are being seen by other drivers and try not to surprise them. The latter is very important since any sudden maneuver can cause you to end up on the ground. Try not to place yourself in the blind spot of other vehicles, which is that lateral area where the driver has no vision of what is happening around them. And especially on secondary roads, be very careful with the curve tracing! If you open too much, you'll invade the opposite lane. And if you close too much, you'll lose control of the bike if you enter too fast.

Beyond the Road

To know the appropriate techniques and put them into practice, it's advisable to enroll yourself in a safe driving course. Without a doubt, it's a magnificent experience that facilitates expanding knowledge to avoid motorcycle accidents.
