For motorcycle owners riding is a way of life, but they still must respect some basic common sense motorcycle accident advice. That’s because, as you may already know it, motorcycle owners are much more susceptible to serious injuries on the road. The lack of protection from the outside environment makes them vulnerable, much more vulnerable than a car driver. So the following prevention methods are a must and don’t make the mistake of taking them lightly. You have no idea how many motorcycle accidents could have been prevented if some simple rules were followed. Don't exaggerate speedI know that there’s no feeling like the excitement you get from driving your motorcycle at high speeds. Remember that greater speed means greater hazard, especially in crowded areas. I’m not saying you should go slowly, just don’t speed up too much in areas with dense traffic, stay well with in speed limits. Your brain will have a lot less time to react to the outside environment elements. Fact is many motorcycle accidents happen because of inappropriate high speeds. Always have good visionYou must always be aware of what’s happening all around you. Adjust your mirrors. Make sure that you take that over the shoulder (blind spot) glance when you are performing a tricky manoeuvre. When you have a car in front of you, make sure that you know the 2 second rule. This rule basically is that you have to be at a 2 seconds distance from the car in front. In bad weather, you need even more space.
Don't drinkIt’s been proven that there are 2 main types of motorcycle riders: the first one is made up by the experienced riders, who have accumulated at least a little bit of wit towards what motorbike riding actually is. The second one is made up by young, inexperienced riders who basically just want to show off. The latter is the problematic category, as the majority of all the motorcycle accidents are caused by those young riders. What’s even worse is that they misunderstand the freedom a motorbike offers, they drink and then drive under the influence. This is a recipe for disaster. AnticipationA good rider has very good anticipation skills and reflexes. What you should do, and this actually applies to all vehicles not just to motorcycles, is think about the worst case scenario and what’s more important, be prepared for it. You should also anticipate the other drivers’ worst possible movements, so that in case something goes wrong, you know what to do. Be visibleDid you know that the majority of accidents which involve motorcycle owners who don’t carry the blame for the accident, happened because the other vehicle failed to see the motorcycle? The crossing of the biker’s way is an important premise for potentially fatal accidents. So, what you need to do is wear very brightly coloured safety equipment, which will make you visible to the other traffic participants. Danger is attractive to many but it leads to serious accidents and personal injury. Even to us, the outsiders, motorcycles seem like awesome machines. Although we may have never felt the excitement of driving one, we know they are special. The things that make them special make them particularly vulnerable to all the other traffic and environment elements. But what if you respect all the basic precaution measures and still get involved in an accident? If you do all the things mentioned above, the accident is probably not your fault. What you need to do in this case is contact a solicitor who will be able to handle your case on a 'no win no fee' basis. What's 'no win no fee'? A 'no win no fee' is an agreement between you and your appointed attorney. The strategy behind it is that if your lawyer losses your compensation claim case ('no win') you don't pay anything ('no fee'). If your lawyer succeeds and wins your case you get your compensation money, that's 100% of the compensation cheque and the other party pays your lawyers fees. You pay nothing ever! There are specialised motorcycle accident lawyers who will assist you in your compensation claim. Don’t be afraid to request compensation, you have a right to do it. Going for a compensation that will help you through the painful recovery process is the best motorcycle accident advice I can give in a case of an accident that isn’t your fault.
