Motorcycles are manoeuvrable and convenient vehicles. They’re different from other motor vehicles because, being on 2 wheels, they must be kept in balance by the rider.
Car drivers who collide with motorcycles often say they didn’t see the motorcycle. This is because the outline of a motorcycle and rider is much smaller than other vehicles, especially when seen from the front or back.
The best protection you can have is space – between yourself and others. If someone makes a mistake, space gives you time to react and somewhere to go.
