Motorcycle safety and accidents

A different topic this week and my annual safety article: Being pro-motorcycle as a regular form of transport for a variety of logical reasons, before you consider a motorcycle you also have to be aware of the risks! 

One of the most effective safety precautions is wearing a motorcycle helmet. There a ton of models available so there will be something that you’d like. The next is self education, you can’t ride a motorcycle like driving a car so update your skills on the road and lobby the government for better driver education all round and other effective measures. There are more idiots in cars than motorcycles they are just hidden behind a much larger ‘helmet’!

As the latest studies and common sense reveal there is much less costly trauma when a helmet is worn.
