Even experienced riders sometimes make mistakes that can lead to accidents. Here are some of the most common — and how to avoid them:
1. Skipping Gear
Riding without a helmet, gloves, or proper jacket puts you at risk. Always wear protective gear.
2. Ignoring Blind Spots
Motorcycles are harder for drivers to see. Always ride defensively and position yourself to be visible.
3. Speeding or Aggressive Riding
It may be tempting, but speeding reduces your reaction time and increases accident risk.
4. Poor Cornering Technique
Entering corners too fast or not looking through the turn causes loss of control. Practice smooth cornering.
5. Not Maintaining the Bike
A neglected motorcycle is unsafe. Keep brakes, tires, and fluids in check.
👉 Staying aware and riding smart keeps you safe and lets you enjoy the road with confidence.
