Pay attention to safe motorcycle driving and equip yourself with all the equipment before going on the road
The safe driving of motorcycles is something we often talk about. Indeed, for this kind of "flesh wrapped in iron" means of transportation, there are too many unstable and unsafe factors in it, and any small scratches and collisions may directly affect the life and health of the driver. As more and more friends join the cycling army, we have to introduce more issues that need to be paid attention to in safe driving. Below we focus on the necessary equipment for safe driving and introduce the relevant content of purchasing and using motorcycle protective equipment for motorcycle enthusiasts.
Motorcycle helmet: There are clear regulations in my country's traffic regulations that helmets must be worn when driving and riding two-wheeled motorcycles, which shows the importance of helmets to motorcycle riders. When riders and passengers wear helmets, they can effectively protect the human head. Even if a traffic accident occurs, the head will be less damaged due to the protection of the helmet, reducing casualties
Common helmets are divided into full helmets, three-quarter helmets, half helmets and flip-up helmets. Full helmets are helmets with good protection, but poor breathability. Three-quarter helmets are between full helmets and half helmets, and have moderate protection and ventilation. The flip-up helmet is a type of helmet that can be selected as a full-face helmet or a three-quarter helmet, and it is also very safe. The half-helmet is somewhat like the safety helmet used by construction workers. It has a small protection area and only protects the top of the head. We do not recommend drivers to choose this type of helmet, but because of its small size, easy to carry, good breathability and other characteristics, many friends will still choose it for urban transportation.
When buying a mtorcycle full face helmet, in addition to choosing the type of helmet, you must also choose a size that suits you. The correct helmet should be a helmet of moderate size or even tight. Don't choose a helmet that is one size larger, otherwise the safety factor will be greatly reduced.
In addition to the purchase of helmets, other body protectors are also very important during motorcycle riding, such as knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, riding clothes, etc., which are all good safety protection for drivers. The purpose of choosing these accessories is not to make the rider look more professional and cooler. The fundamental intention is to protect the life safety of the driver. There are many unstable factors in the process of motorcycle riding. For this high-risk mode of travel, only by taking comprehensive protective measures can the risk be reduced to a minimum and the casualties caused by traffic accidents can be effectively reduced. However, no matter how many safety devices are installed, they are only additional protection. Safe driving, not overloading or speeding, and improving safety awareness are the driving skills that riders should learn and master.
