Avoid wind blast from other vehicles. Provide an escape route. As a motorcycle rider, you can put yourself in a position to see things that a driver of a vehicle cannot see. On curves A primary cause of single-vehicle accidents is motorcyclists running wide in a curve or turn and colliding with the roadway or a fixed object. You can move to one side of the lane or the other to get a better view depending on traffic and road conditions.
Every curve is different.
Be alert to whether a curve remains constant, is banked or flat, gradually widens, gets tighter, or involves multiple turns. Ride within your skill level and posted speed limits. At intersections You don't have two to six feet of vehicle sticking out in front, so you can peek easily around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is coming. Increase your chances of being seen at intersections by riding with your headlights on in a lane position that provides the best view of oncoming traffic. Remember to keep a space cushion around you in case of an emergency.
