Tips for Avoiding Motorcycle Accidents

Introducing Evertree Mountain States

Most motorcyclists in the Arvada ,CO area know that riding a motorcycle is more dangerous than driving a vehicle. They also know that when accidents do happen, they can be severe. For these reasons, safe motorcycling habits are a priority. The best way to avoid accidents is to pay close attention to these safety tips.

  • Always wear a helmet because it can reduce the severity of an accident.
  • While not all states require motorcyclists to have a license, it improves safety because often there is a knowledge and skills test to pass. 
  • Consider getting professional training and a safety course to improve motorcycle handling skills.
  • Be aware of your riding skill level to keep from overestimating your skill in managing a tricky situation.
  • Wear protective clothing that has bright colors to make you more visible.
  • Maintain your motorcycle to make sure the tires, lights, engine, and breaks are in excellent condition.
  • Do not share lanes with other vehicles because you can be missed.  People in cars don’t expect to share lanes with motorcycles and often make quick lane changes.
  • Avoid road hazards such as debris in the road or things that may make the road slick.
  • Watch the road, especially when passing to avoid head-on collisions.
  • The most dangerous situation is when a car is making a left-hand turn, so this is a situation to be especially cautious of because the driver may not see you unless your headlight is working.
  • Avoid lane splitting when vehicles are stopped, and the motorcycle travels between the sitting cars. This can be a recipe for disaster.
