Important Safety Measures

When riding a motorcycle, it is important that you take measures to help prevent an accident from occurring. Motorcyclists are far more likely to be in an accident than a driver of a passenger car, and when it happens, the injuries are usually severe in nature. Attorney Leslie Duberstein Glenn can tell you that there are two primary reasons for this:

1. Motorcycles are smaller and can be more challenging for drivers to see. One reason for collisions involving motor vehicles and motorcycles is because the driver failed to see the motorcycle on the road.
2. Motorcyclists are not as protected as someone who is in a motor vehicle. When a passenger car driver is in an accident, they are surrounded on all sides by metal and usually by at least one airbag. When a motorcyclist is in an accident, they are either thrown from the bike or they directly absorb the impact of the passenger vehicle.

A motorcyclist should take as many preventative measures as possible to protect themselves in the event the unthinkable happens. The following are important safety tips that many motorcyclists adhere to:

• Wear a helmet;
• Wear protective clothing such as long pants, boots, and leather jackets;
• Be alert when you are on your motorcycle, as riding when you are tired will impact your ability to respond quickly;
• Never ride when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Avoid riding in poor weather conditions;
• Avoid riding in poor road conditions;
• Take a biker’s road safety class to improve your riding skills so that you are able to have the appropriate response in the event of an emergency;
• Routinely check your motorcycle to ensure that it is functioning properly before you take it out on the road.
