Headlights.

When being passed, motorcyclists should be careful not to be hit by any part of the passing vehicle, including its mirrors. In addition to the vehicle itself, motorcyclists should be aware of wind gusts coming from the passing vehicle and potential objects being thrown by a passenger in the vehicle who may not be paying attention to the road.

4. Brightly-colored helmets:

May make it easier for the wearer to be seen.

Can be distracting.

Don’t help to improve a rider's visibility.

Are not permitted.

Choosing a brightly-colored helmet is recommended. Not only will the helmet protect you in the case of a crash, but the bright color of the helmet will help other road users see you.

5. If your front wheel skids as a result of braking, you should:

Keep the front brake engaged.

Release the front brake immediately and re-apply the brake smoothly.

Release the front brake and only use the rear brake.

Release both brakes and coast to a stop.

6. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.
