While motorcycle accidents cannot be completely avoided, there are ways to help keep yourself more safe:


Stay Alert and Be Focused


Eliminate as many distractions as you can when riding, and be aware of your surroundings and other vehicles. A sudden change in traffic speed, construction, or debri on the road could pop up at any second. Avoid riding when you feel sick or sleepy, and travel at a slower speed during poor weather conditions. Unfortunately, many car drivers don’t drive as safely as they should during wet weather and may slide into a motorcyclist who was in their path. 


Don’t Assume a Driver Can See You


Simply by riding a motorcycle, it means that you are less viewable to others on the road. Motorcyclists may have to ride within a car driver’s blind spot in order to change lanes or pass. All too often motorcycle accidents happen because a driver didn’t see the rider, and claim they appeared out of nowhere. But in fact, the motorcyclist was probably near them for quite some time and was safely maneuvering, but the car driver failed to consider their presence on the road.


Keep a Safe Distance From Cars


A Deltona, FL motorcycle accident lawyer knows that it can be difficult to predict what other drivers are going to do. They may suddenly swerve to make their freeway exit, speed through a red light to get ahead of time, or something else that makes it difficult to suddenly halt if you need to. Always allow more than enough space so you can respond in time and prevent a crash. Resist the temptation to ride between cars when on a multi-lane highway. Car drivers have the benefit of being protected by a shield made of strong metal, and motorcyclists only have the gear on their body to deflect force of impact. 


Maintain Your Motorcycle 


A key way to help ward off motorcycle accidents is to make sure your own bike is in good condition. Perform regular maintenance and fix parts that need repairing immediately. Change the oil, rotate your tires, and purchase new wheels as needed so that they have proper grip to prevent sliding and skidding. If you notice the bike is making weird noises or the steering doesn’t feel right, take it to a mechanic. What may seem like small mechanical problems may cause a serious issue while in motion.
