10 riding habits that are prone to cause danger

When we first start riding, we will have our unique habits. If we do not develop good riding habits, it will be more dangerous when we face danger later because we cannot control the vehicle. If you have the following 10 bad riding habits, please change them.


1. Riding without a helmet is the most dangerous behavior. No matter how far or how fast you are, please wear a helmet. You cannot guarantee that you will not encounter an accident, so please wear your helmet when riding. This is the minimum respect for riding and the responsibility for your safety.


2. Try not to ride with one hand unless there are special circumstances. If you meet a fellow rider and say hello, especially on a downhill section, the probability of falling off the bike when riding with one hand is greatly increased. At this time, just nod to indicate to avoid falling off the bike.

3. Never ride while talking on the phone during riding. It is best to stop on the side of the road and then make a call. If you like to record your beautiful life, it is best to use a sports camera fixed on the car. Don't hold it while riding and shooting. When your eyes leave the road and turn to the phone, the danger is often just a few seconds.

4. Do not wear clothes that obstruct your vision when riding. For example, when the weather is cold, wear a hat that is connected to your clothes. When you turn your head, you will find that the hat is not attached to your clothes, and then you can't see it.

5. It is not advisable to tie your coat around your waist. Once it is caught in the wheel, it will cause people to fall. It is okay to show off, but it must be done under the premise of safety. This is very important, especially for young people who like to show off when riding.

6. When riding in a team, do not ride side by side. One will cause traffic congestion, and the other will increase the risk of collision and accidents. It is recommended to ride in a row and stay by the side.


7. Do not follow the car too closely. You must keep a safe distance of two cars from the vehicle in front. It is safe for both people and yourself, and you can better control it when encountering emergencies. In the event of a rear-end collision, the responsibility lies with the rear.

8. When riding at night in dim light, you must equip yourself and your car with lighting devices to make yourself visible. Wear bright clothes or decorate your helmet and frame with as much reflective material as possible. This can help avoid accidents caused by drivers who don't see you.

9. Turn left correctly. When riding in the city, you cannot turn left directly. You should first go to the opposite street and then to the opposite street on the left.

10. Unless you have to, do not ride on the sidewalk. Under the traffic rules of giving way to pedestrians, you should respect pedestrian priority, slow down, and ensure safety.
