Road Safety

Safety on the roads is of upmost importance. Driving can be extremely dangerous if you do not pay due care and attention, so be careful to avoid getting involved in an accident! Different road users will encounter different kinds of hazards, and the road users that are most at risk are motorcyclists by a long way. Being knocked off a bike can be potentially fatal, so it's important to take care when riding.

Most young riders will be riding underpowered machines, or if they own more powerful bikes they'll have 33bhp restrictor kits installed on them to make them road legal. In order to ride more powerful bikes you have to be of a certain age and hold an appropriate license, so most young riders will have 33bhp restrictor kits installed. However, although their machines aren't as powerful there are still risks involved in riding them, so it's vital to be careful.

Other road users need to be aware of motorcyclists on the road, as they're harder to spot due to being much smaller than a car. Always check your mirrors for bikers coming up beside you and check your blind spot before you move off or make any major change in direction. If you don't see a motorcyclist coming up your side then you could easily knock them down as you move off or change lane. Be safe on the roads and be considerate of other road users!
