But also Bikes/Motorcycles can be quite
dangerous; in fact they are indeed dangerous as compared to cars. So, one
should always be aware while riding a bike if he/she loves his/her life. As
cold truth is motorcyclists are 30 times more likely to die in a crash than
people in a car.
Inspect
before you, Intersect!
Practice
to Deal with Panic Situations
Therefore, we
at Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) assume that one can never learn to
ride a motorcycle completely, as there is always something to learn whether you
are a fresher or have been driving a bike for ages.
We don’t
realize it, but most of the motorcycle accidents are preventable, and even in
unavoidable wrecks, there are precautions that can help reduce the severity of
injuries.
So, let’s go
over the Safety Tips and tricks one should never take for granted!
Wear
a Quality, Full Face Helmet
No matter what, never ever forget to wear the Helmet, before riding the
Bike, even if you are going to some nearby destination. As you never know, what
might be waiting for you? So, always be one step ahead, as prevention is better
than cure!
Don’t
Drink & Drive
If
you are drunk, simply don’t drive & if you have to drive simply don’t
drink. As Alcohol slows your reaction time and messes with your judgment. Fun
is not more than life, and you poor decision of driving while you are drunk can
not only mess up with your life but also turn other road user’s world upside
down.
Eyes
Of the Skies
While
taking the long road trips, sometimes your mind drifts as long hours of driving
can be quite hectic and tiresome for both car and motorcycle drivers. But, Car
drivers still can afford a little mental vacation while driving, but bike rides
just can’t and so they shouldn’t. Therefore, they should use their SEE (search,
evaluate, execute) strategy to keep their minds engaged on short or long trips.
Avoid
Flip-Flops & Short sleeves
Road
on which motor vehicles are driven are quite rough and can cause severe
injuries, if just in case you met an accident. As you already know that
motorcycle crashes almost always result in some sort of injury, be it minor scrapes,
or compound broken bones and sometimes even gaping flesh wounds. So, it’s
better to take care of yourself than being scared for life.
In
most cases, drivers of passenger vehicles violate the motorcyclist's right of
way and, as a result, cause the collision, which can be quite dangerous. So,
you better be alert and assume that a passenger vehicle driver might not give
you enough space to pass through, so don’t hurry and ride defensively, as this
way, you could dodge a really large, wheeled bullet.
If
you find everyone driving safely and friendly on road, then driving a
motorcycle can be quite an easy task. Otherwise, you often have to dodge other
vehicles to avoid a wreck. And in India, there are minimal chances of having a
chance to drive on the road where there are safe and friendly drivers. So,
practice emergency Braking and Steering at your best for your Road Safety.
Try
to wear Neon Clothes
While
driving at night, prefer to wear clothes especially made for motorcycle riders,
as that would make you more visible to your fellow road commuters. So, make yourself as visible as possible and
also consider installing a motorcycle headlight modulator on your vehicle.
As being Seen, is being Safe!
Stay Slow
At highways, catching up with the thrill of riding a Motorcycle might
be fun and thrilling but really not safe. So, Slowing down and remaining at the
speed of the traffic around you is a great strategy for survival.
Keep
tab of your Tires & Bikes
Make a checklist, and check for all the required parts of your bike
that you simply can’t afford to fail while you are on road like brakes &
tires. Take your bike for regular servicing and always be in check before you
hump on it for safe travel.
Ride
a bike, only if you are in right senses
Riding bike needs awareness and eye for on road detail, and if you are
feeling very distracted, emotional, sick or just tired, you're better off
driving your bike today, as your distractions and lack of awareness on road,
can turn out to be a disaster for yourself, as well as other road commuters.
