Driving Tip
• Motorcyclist often slow by down shifting or merely letting off the throttle, (no brake lights) so allow more following distance.
• Turn signals are not self-canceling (on most motorcycles), good indicators of turning may include a cyclist ‘s head turning and the bike leaning or tilting.
When a motorcycle is in motion, don’t think of it as a motorcycle,
think of it as a person or another vehicle.
