We know that California’s motorcyclists are committed to safety riding and always wearing their full gear. Other motorists’ negligence can make these safety precautions seem insignificant. Motorcyclists can be killed or maimed by negligent drivers who drift into the lanes of motorcyclists. Riders are not protected by a vehicle’s outer shell, so they can sustain severe injuries in an accident.
What You Can Do To Reduce Your Risks?
It doesn’t matter if you are riding long distances or cruising around the city, it is important to have all of the necessary safety gear.
- A helmet that is DOT-approved and Snell-certified
- Jackets and riding pants with padded pockets
- Over-the-ankle riding boots
- Gloves
Motorcycle riders can reduce their risk by adhering to all traffic laws, riding safely, and being defensive.
