A quick refresher on the basics of motorcycle safety
Operating a bike entails great responsibility on the part of the owner. With that in mind, here’s a quick refresher on the basics of motorcycling safety:
- Ride defensively: Unfortunately, it’s possible to follow all of the rules of the road and still end up in an accident. The best way to prevent this from happening to you is to keep an eye out for potential safety hazards, such as roadway obstructions or careless motorists.
- Wear appropriate gear: This, of course, includes a DOT-approved helmet. But it also includes items such as gloves, elbow and knee pads, and durable clothing that covers your entire body.
- Ride sober: Operating a motorcycle requires quick reflexes and keen attention to the surrounding environment. Alcohol, illicit drugs, and even some prescription medications can limit your ability to respond to unexpected situations.
- Perform a pre-ride equipment check: Make sure the tires are inflated to the proper pressure, all lights are in good working order, and there’s no sign of leaking oil or other fluids. Mirrors should be properly aligned, the throttling clutch should operate correctly, and the horn should work as designed.
As we all know, it’s possible to follow each of these precautions and still fall victim to serious injuries. If that happens, then talking to a Portsmouth motorcycle accident attorney should be at the top of your to-do list. Here’s why:
- To know all your legal options: You can’t always count on insurance companies and negligent parties to give you an accurate account of how much compensation you’re entitled to. Talking to qualified Portsmouth motorcycle accident lawyers can reveal possibilities for financial recovery that you may not be aware of.
- To make it clear to the other side that you mean business: An injury victim who hires a Portsmouth motorcycle accident lawyer is serious about receiving fair treatment. Insurers and at-fault parties recognize this fact and will treat you accordingly.
