Are Motorcycles Dangerous?
1 Answers
Riding a motorcycle is not dangerous, and collision safety incidents involving motorcycles are fewer compared to cars. Here are some precautions for riding a motorcycle: 1. Inspection: Carefully check the operation of all parts of the motorcycle, especially the tire pressure. The tire pressure should not be too high to prevent sudden bursting due to expansion. In summer, road temperatures often reach 60-70°C after exposure to the sun. When riding on such high-temperature roads, the tire temperature rises, and the air pressure inside the tire increases sharply. 2. Emergency Braking: Check the motorcycle's braking system. In case of an emergency while riding, use both the front and rear wheel brakes simultaneously to prevent wheel lock-up caused by separate braking or excessive braking force, or to avoid the motorcycle tipping over or flipping forward due to significant inertia. 3. Avoid High-Speed Riding: Maintain a moderate speed and minimize high-speed riding, especially avoiding prolonged high-speed riding. Prevent the engine from operating under heavy load at high temperatures, which can cause overheating or even damage. If long-distance motorcycle riding is necessary, stop periodically to allow the engine to cool down and prevent damage to the engine system under high temperatures. 4. Protective Gear: Wear a helmet and protective equipment. Motorcycles lack seat belts and an external frame for protection, so in the event of an accident, the rider may come into direct contact with the ground or other objects.
