It may take more time to accelerate and stop.

23. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Ride faster than usual.

Rider more slowly than usual.

Start slowing later than usual.

Try to squeeze into smaller gaps in traffic.

The added weight of a passenger will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to accelerate more slowly than usual, turn more slowly than usual, and require extra space to come to a complete stop. Ride more slowly, start slowing sooner when approaching a stop, open up a larger space cushion, and wait for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

Leather

Denim

Wool

Polyester

Jackets and pants made of leather offer the greatest degree of protection to those riding motorcycles.

Pull over and wait until traffic begins to move.

Ride on the shoulder to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Weave between the cars to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Not weave between the cars.

Riding between slowed or parked cars can leave you vulnerable to unexpected hazards, such as opening car doors or cars suddenly pulling into traffic. If a hazard arises, you will not have room to safely maneuver. Never travel on the shoulder of a road because other drivers will never expect you to be there.
