Top Five Rules of the Road for Motorcyclists
- Wear the right apparel. Eye protection, such as goggles or shatter-proof sunglasses, sturdy shoes with a good grip, long sleeves or a jacket, and long pants are a must.
- Wear an approved helmet. Helmets should be Department of Transportation (DOT) approved.
- Ride smart. Avoid riding aggressively, especially when in traffic.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs. Never drive under the influence.
- Adhere to maintenance schedules. Tires and brakes must be changed much more frequently for motorcycles than for cars.
