4 Safety Tips to Follow Every Time You Drive a Motorcycle in Florida
Motorcycle Safety Tips
Taking proper precautions when riding a motorcycle can mean the difference between injury and death if an accident occurs. Motorcycle riders are encouraged to follow these safety tips every time they ride a motorcycle in Florida.Wear a helmet and proper clothing
The CDC reports that helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 69%. In addition to a helmet, there are four pieces of clothing that all motorcyclists should wear every time they ride:- Motorcycle jacket
- Motorcycle boots
- Motorcycle gloves
- Motorcycle pants
Obey the speed limit
Speed limits exist to reduce driver risk and vehicle conflicts. A speeding motorcycle is more difficult for other drivers to see and being clearly seen is one of the most important factors to preventing motorcycle accidents. Additionally, injuries are more likely to be severe or even deadly when a motorcyclist is speeding at the time of an accident.Be aware of your surroundings
All drivers must be alert when driving, but motorcycle riders face unique hazards on the roadway. Seemingly harmless obstacles like grass clipping or puddles may present serious hazards for motorcycle riders. Other hazards to avoid include potholes, oil slicks, gravel, sand, and debris.Ride defensively
Defensive riding techniques are a motorcyclist’s best chance to avoid an accident. Defensive riding techniques include:- Staying alert with eyes on the road at all times
- Hand on the brake ready to slow/stop if needed
- Maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles
- Anticipating other driver’s actions
- Using mirrors and checking blind spots before changing lanes
- Avoiding obstacles and road hazards, including other vehicles

They were able to direct me with medical care questions, advocate on my behalf with insurance companies, and really listen on days where I had pain and was completely frustrated with my insurance company and their lack of response.
