The main cause of accidents between
motorcycles and cars is that car drivers
cannot see or identify motor cyclists in

cars drivers who did not see the motor-

these are the sites of most frequent
motorcycle accidents.
• Travel where other road users can
see you. Do not travel in the shadow
of another vehicle. Many accidents
involve inexperienced riders. Many
riders involved in accidents do not
have a valid motorcycle licence.
• Make sure that you are qualified and
only lend your motorcycle to other ex-
pert riders.
• Be aware of your capabilities and lim-
its. Stay within your limits as this will
help to avoid accidents.
• We advise you to practise on the mo-
torbike in areas without traffic until
you have become more experienced
with both the motorcycle and its con-
trols
Many accidents are the results of rider
errors when manoeuvring.
A typical error is taking bends too wide or
too fast, or even with insuffi cient inclina-
tion compared to travel speed.
• Always abide by speed limits and
never travel faster than the road con-
ditions and traffic allow.
• Always signal changes in direction
and lane.
