1. Keep an expanded cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you:

When conditions will make stopping more difficult than usual.

When you want to look at the scenery.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

To prevent the driver in front of you from knowing you are there.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a larger following distance.

2. When conducting a pre-ride check, be sure that:

The brakes make a loud squeaking noise.

The brakes cause some friction with the steering.

Each brake can hold the motorcycle.

Only the rear brake can hold the motorcycle.

Check your brake levers individually before every ride. Make sure each one feels firm and holds the motorcycle when the brake is fully applied.

3. If a driver is tailgating you, you should:

Speed up.

Allow them to pass.

Prevent them from passing.

Move to one side of your lane to allow them to share the lane.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to keep tailgating you at a higher speed.

4. Low-speed crashes:

Can be fatal.

Are never serious.

Rarely cause injuries.

Happen frequently, so there is no need to worry about them.

Most motorcycle crashes occur at speeds lower than 30 miles per hour. Even low-speed crashes can be fatal.

5. When choosing a helmet, you will get the most protection by using a helmet that:

Fits loosely.

Meets U.S. DOT standards.

Has survived a previous crash.

Provides hearing protection.

To ensure that you are getting as much protection as possible, choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. Helmets should fit snugly all the way around.
