How do they face risks? First, they gear up. Riders choose the best motorcycle
apparel to complement their driving needs. Protective gears, helmet, gloves,
footwear, pants, jackets and the likes are meticulously selected. Do not try to
drive with your usual attire ' jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. You are just
inviting danger!
Second, they make sure that their motorcycle parts are in good driving condition
and are road-worthy. Come the blazing sun, come night, come the rain, still
their motorcycles are not that affected because they are well-maintained.
Maintenance is part of the duties of a motorcyclist.
Third vital prevention is saying no to alcohol and drugs. Do not ride when you
are under the influence of these stuffs. They make you drowsy and your
concentration and skill in driving is likewise influenced. This will most likely
endanger your life and other lives as well.
Susan Wells et al., in their study found the following results: Crash related
injuries occurred mainly in urban zones with 50 km/h speed limit (66%), during
the day (63%), and in fine weather (72%). After adjustment for potential
confounders, drivers wearing any reflective or fluorescent clothing had a 37%
lower risk (multivariate odds ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0.42 to 0.94)
than other drivers. Compared with wearing a black helmet, use of a white helmet
was associated with a 24% lower risk (multivariate odds ratio 0.76, 0.57 to
0.99). Self reported light colored helmet versus dark colored helmet was
associated with a 19% lower risk. Three quarters of motorcycle riders had their
headlight turned on during the day, and this was associated with a 27% lower
risk (multivariate odds ratio 0.73, 0.53 to 1.00). No association occurred
between risk and the frontal color of drivers' clothing or motorcycle. If these
odds ratios are unconfounded, the population attributable risks are 33% for
wearing no reflective or fluorescent clothing, 18% for a non-white helmet, 11%
for a dark colored helmet, and 7% for no daytime headlight operation.
In the study of Wells together with her companions, they concluded that low
conspicuity may increase the risk of motorcycle crash related injury. Thus,
increasing the use of reflective or fluorescent clothing, white or light colored
helmets, and daytime headlights are simple, cheap interventions that could
considerably reduce motorcycle crash related injury and death.
Break the dark spell of riding' choose your fate!
