Adverse Weather Conditions

Always remember that stopping distance is doubled when riding in the rain.

On a wet surface, there is less friction between the tires and the road. Hence, you must ride slowly on slippery road conditions. Do not brake abruptly; but instead brake intermittently.

OPEN ROAD RIDING

When speed is doubled, stopping distance is increased 4x. Hence, sufficient and safe distance is necessary when riding in an open road.

Danger Anticipation

If the rider can anticipate risks, getting caught in dangerous situations is greatly reduced.

Public Road

Reckless driving is a menace to traffic safety. Always stop, check left and right before proceeding.

Do not be less cautious when driving in light traffic. Assuming that "no vehicles are coming" court dangerous situations. Always prepare for the unexpected specially in blind corners.

High Traffic Density

Vehicles have blind spots and blind areas that limit driver visibility. Always ride to "See and Be Seen"

In a crowded street, the key to a safe ride is to "observe road situations." Try to collect as many information as possible so that road users' movement can be predicted accurately. Always ask the question, "How Am I Seen?." If a rider can gauge how he is seen, he can then take the safest riding line.

Cornering

The Basic Rule in Cornering is to Slow Down before doing it

Every corner has a speed limit depending on the size and road surface conditions. In a blind corner, it takes time to see obstacles or any changes in road conditions. Braking while cornering will make you lose balance and fall. Key here is to reduce speed before the corner; then turn with a margin of safety.

The same procedure must be followed when turning left or right in an intersection. Make it a habit to collect information while riding.

Proper Riding Attire

Riding gears are your protection.

Always wear long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.

Always minimize the exposure of bare skin when riding. Doing so will reduce skin injuries in the event of a crash or fall. Also, the unpleasant effects of hot weathers like sunburn and fatigue are greatly reduced.
