Motorcyclists often have greater freedom on the roads than other vehicles, being able to beat queues, park in smaller spaces and feel the fresh air while driving. Unfortunately, journeys don't always go as planned and some people have to make a motorcycle accident claim.
Although motorbikes are smaller and more agile than cars, motorcyclists must not forget to adhere to The Highway Code. Driving a motorbike recklessly to beat traffic can result in a road accident which could cause serious personal injuries, such as a head injury.
Motorbikes are often capable of high speeds, however, bikers should not forget that national speed limits still apply to them. On motorways it is against the law for motorbikes to travel faster that 70 miles per hour (unless an alternative speed limit has been instated).
Riders of motorbikes can move around other vehicles quickly and they sometimes abuse the practicality of their vehicles, using the inside lane as well as the outside lane to overtake or undertake other road users.
Undertaking is very dangerous as other drivers may not be expecting or watching out for motorbikes driving past in the inside lane and could pull back into the inside lane, potentially resulting in a high speed collision.
Motorcyclists should always return to the inside lane when they have finished using the outside lanes for overtaking other vehicles. Drivers who only use the middle and outside lanes can infuriate and hinder other road users and may tempt them into breaking the law by using the inside lane to undertake.
When using country roads, a motorcyclist should only overtake another vehicle if they can clearly see that there is nothing coming from the opposite direction and in no circumstances should a biker attempt to overtake when road markings or signs have been installed to indicate that it is not safe to do so.
By obeying to the laws of the road, motorcyclists can help to prevent a road accident from happening.
