Motorcycles are a great way to feel connected to the act of driving and to the surrounding landscape. While motorcycles are a great source of fun and a convenient mode of transportation, there are a number of dangers associated with motorcycle riding that can result in serious traffic accidents and injuries.

As such, it is important for both motorcycle riders and the drivers of other vehicles on the road to be aware of some of the dangers associated with motorcycles to prevent accidents from occurring.

Motorcyclists should invest in quality materials to keep themselves safe. Primarily, this means a sturdy and well-fitting helmet, as well as a thick leather jacket. This jacket will not only look good, but will keep the rider’s arms and torso safe in the event of an accident.

Both motorcyclists and other drivers alike should drive in a courteous manner and be willing to share the road. When drivers get aggressive on the road, accidents are more likely to occur. All drivers should be willing to let other drivers pass them and change lanes when necessary, regardless of the vehicle they are driving.

Motorcyclists should wear bright clothing to increase visibility. Sometimes, the size of motorcycles makes it difficult for motorcyclists to be seen by drivers of larger automobiles. Bright colors will help increase visibility on the road.

Dangerous driving practices like tailgating and weaving should be avoided at all times.
