Because a motorcycle's brake light is not as noticeable as the brake lights of a car, it is usually a good idea to flash your brake light when slowing or stopping, so that others are more likely to notice it. This is particularly true if you are slowing down more quickly than others might expect, or in a place where they would not expect you to. It's also a good idea to flash the brake light if slowing down when someone is following you too closely.

You should use both brakes every time that you slow or stop.

Improper braking is a significant contributing factor to many motorcycle crashes. Using a proper braking technique is an important part of riding safely.
