MOTORCYCLE safety & LICENSING IN BC
You are at a MUCH larger risk on the road riding a motorcycle: you’re harder to see and don't offer the protection of a frame, seatbelts or airbags. Here in B.C., drivers are at fault in nearly 80% of motorcycle crashes where the rider is seriously injured.
Training and years of riding experience can make the difference. Check out these safety tips directly from ICBC to help the avoidable:
Practice emergency braking and obstacle avoidance. Brush up on core skills in a safe place like an empty parking lot if you haven't ridden for a few months.
Be seen. Do your best to stay out of a driver's blind spot.
Watch drivers for clues. Never assume they’ve seen you or will give you the right-of-way, they may not accurately judge your distance or speed.
Use your signals. Let drivers know what you plan to do so they can anticipate your next move and react in time.
Plan your path prior to a curve. Look where you want to go and then adjust your lane position and speed to exit smoothly.
Ride at a safe speed. Manage your speed to leave ample time to stop or steer out of a vehicle's path.
