Safety First is a Maxim used in construction companies abundantly. The same rule can be applied to life and motorcycle riding also. Safety is of utmost importance and is most significant thing and is on priority. If you are safe, only then you could proceed further to perform daily routine activities and chores of your life.
So I will provide you with best tips to ride bike safely and tell you how to ride bike safely.
First things first. As I mentioned earlier, Your safety is on priority. So to ensure safety, we must follow some rules and disciplines to avoid lethal or injury making accidents in which we may lose some of our limbs or short term injuries, depending upon the severity of accidents.
Check the overall condition of the vehicle first.
Before commencing your journey on bike, you have to examine it carefully, that its in good condition to ride and ensure that it will not be the reason of any kind of accident.
What things to check for safely riding the bike.?
These are tyre pressure and conditions,as it is the main cause of accidents. If tyre pressure is lower than prescribed limits, fill air in the tyres immediately.
Second, if the tyre condition is rough this may become the cause of accident any time. Suppose, you are riding motorcycle at a speed like 50 km per hour and suddenly your worn out old tyre bursts instantly, you are damn sure of falling abruptly which will make injuries on you may be serious or minor or lethal could be these injuries also especially in highly traffic rush areas. Some fast speed vehicle may come and override over you. I call this kind of carelessness as suicide. Don't blame nature for this as sole responsibility of carelessness lies upon you and you became the reason of accident not nature. So from above picture of accident scenario, you could assess easily how important is tyre condition to check before riding bike. If still your tyres are worn out and old enough, change them immediately with new ones to safeguard you from any possible accident.
High level of fatalities due to careless driving
As I am Police officer, so daily I witness many bike accidents, and many killed daily in such road accidents. So this kind of suicide is going to suffer many families and lost many precious lives due to rash and careless driving of bike drivers which may cost their lives. So I think it necessary to improve public awareness in this regard to save the lives of people. As life is very precious, so one should be extra cautious in saving his and other people's lives. That's why I am writing this digital diary to improve awareness among people who become the cause of accidents which eventually lost lives of many people almost daily.
Maintain tyre pressure at prescribed limits, check the tyre pressure before riding and fill it when necessary. Don't fill, over air in front tyre as this will make front tyre jump more than needs, which could also become the reason of accident.
Check the chain tightness and lubrication,
If its loosened tighten it and check if there is enough lubrication or not. If the chain is not lubricated sufficiently, lubricate it immediately, as it is one of the most in use parts of motorcycle. Check if it is in good condition also. if its too old change it with genuine parts abruptly.
Adjust the mirrors right.
Set both mirrors accordingly and adjust them accordingly so to see the rear traffic so that you could drive easily keeping in mind the back traffic.
Check if your speedometer is working
Speedometer is a device which keeps you updated about your speed limits. Its good to have a birds eye view on it to check if you are in speed limits, usually 40km per hour is enough speed, you should not cross this limit to ensure your safety.
Brakes
Brake is the again one of the most important part of the bike to check if it is working, for your safely riding the bike. Check front brakes and rear brakes, remember that
front brakes account for 60% and rear brakes account for 40%, in stopping bike.
Method of stopping bike
First of all slow down speed to minimum then press front brake clutch slowly and then put pressure on rear brakes. In this way you could easily stop bike or slow it down to a desired speed.
In the event of confusion.
Never be confused if you encounter some worrying situation on road, as confusion and hurry are the main causes of accidents,
Haste makes waste
Remain cool minded, try to apply both brakes and try to control the vehicle with cool mind.
Engine Oil
Engine oil is also one of the prime importance for bike. check the level of engine oil, if it is sufficient or not. If its sufficient, its okay, but if its level is down you should fill it to save the engine from any loss as it keeps engine parts lubricated thus helping in running of engine smoothly.
Check the overal lubrication of vehicle
You must check the overall lubrication of the vehicle as the moving parts of bike needs lubrication to function smoothly and at ease. Especially the lubrication of brakes and chain of motorcycle.
