2. Motorcyclists are
vulnerable in accidents
and are lacking in the
same protection offered
by cars or trucks.
It is important for drivers
to be aware of safe
driving tactics for
traveling around
motorcycles and also to
be able to identify
potentially reckless
driving habits that put
motorcyclists at risk.
3. Reckless driving behaviour is described as intentional or wanton disregard
for the safety of others on the road. Consider the scenarios and keep them in
mind whenever you are on the road.
Failure to see motorcyclists
This is a very common cause of
car-motorcycle accidents, as
some riders may not see a
motorcycle in a blind spot. It is
reckless to ignore the potential
for a motorcycle to be travelling
on the road with you.
Following too close
If the motorcyclist hits a pothole
and loses control of the bike, or
must stop quickly, you could run
him or her over with your car if
you did not allow enough
distance.
4. Squeezing motorcycles out of a lane
Motorcyclists deserve the
same respect and travelling
space as full-sized vehicles.
Reckless drivers may bully
motorcyclists by edging them
out of a lane or infringing on
their driving space.
Cutting off a motorcycle
Many motorists either don’t notice a
motorcycle on the road or assume
that the size difference between
the vehicles will force the rider to
slow down, allowing the driver to
make the manoeuvre he needs to
make.
