If you cannot avoid hitting an obstacle in the roadway, you should try to hit it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible.

Involve riders who have operated their motorcycles for less than six months.

Are caused by faulty ignition systems.

Decrease your usual following distance.

Increase your usual following distance.

Travel on the shoulder.

Ask someone else to operate your motorcycle.

An increased following distance 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 minimum three-second following distance.

Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.
