Motorcycles Awareness
Share the road safely with motorcycles
Motorcycles are easy to miss due to their narrow profile. Actively looking for motorcycles at junctions, in mirrors, and when changing lanes is essential for preventing collisions.
Waarom het belangrijk is
Most car-motorcycle collisions occur when drivers fail to see the motorcycle. "Sorry, I didn not see them" is the most common statement at these accidents.
Belangrijke acties
Actively look for motorcycles at junctions
Double-check mirrors before lane changes
Check blind spots specifically for motorcycles
Give motorcycles full lane width
Allow extra following distance
Wel doen
- Remember: "Think once, think twice, think bike"
- Expect motorcycles to filter in traffic
- Signal intentions early and clearly
- Give extra space in crosswinds
Niet doen
- Underestimate motorcycle closing speed
- Block filtering motorcycles deliberately
- Turn across approaching motorcycles
- Assume they will stop if you go
Pro tips
A single headlight can make distance judgment difficult
Motorcycles can stop faster than expected
Weather affects motorcycles more than cars
Waarschuwing
At junctions, look twice for motorcycles. Their narrow profile makes them easy to miss, especially against busy backgrounds or in low light.
