What is the safest lane position?
Lane position 1
Lane position one is your primary or “default” position, as it is the safest position to drive in under normal circumstances. Your vehicle is in lane position one when it is central, with at least three feet of space between the sides of the car and the left and right lines.
Where do motorcycles position themselves to be seen better?
Most instructors tell novice motorcyclists to ride in the driver’s side wheel track so they can be seen and where the tyres clean the road of oil, gravel and rainwater. That’s the simple answer and one that most people use to great advantage.
What makes motorcycles hard to see?
Motorcycles can easily get in another vehicle’s blind spot, leading to the driver not being able to see them. Hazardous weather conditions can make it more difficult to see motorcycles, especially if they don’t have lights that are working properly.
Does riding a motorcycle make you sore?
If you are tensing your body during a ride, you may have sore muscles after your ride. Also, stretching before and after each motorcycle ride can prevent back pain. If your back continues to bother you during a motorcycle ride, you may also want to try a back brace.
Which lane position should you be in as you prepare for a left turn?
Turn on the left turn signal before you make the turn and slow down. Look both ways and make sure that the oncoming lanes are clear. Make the turn from the designated lane (use left lane). Do not enter into the right lane.
