RULE #1: WHEN YOU ARE ON A MOTORCYCLE YOU BECOME INVISIBLE TO DRIVERS OF CARS AND TRUCKS, ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN MIND AND RIDE DEFENSIVELY.
I've had several near misses and two nasty bike accidents in my life, without exception they were caused by drivers who didn't
see me.
Head-on-a-swivel, expand your situational awareness to a full 360 degrees.
Don't put yourself in a position where an oblivious driver in a car can kill you.
Stay out of vehicle blind-spots, use the full width of your travel lane to increase your safety margin.
RULE #2: SEE THIS LIST
