Perfect Weather for riding
This blog is just for information purposes. With the winter starting any motor cycle rider will tell you it’s the perfect weather for riding. I found this article whilst doing research on Motor cycle safety and found it very interesting and informative.
The Motor Safety Foundation ‘MSF’ will start an in depth study into motor cycle safety. The study will follow 100 motorcyclists in different age groups who ride three types of bikes and riding in various environments. The study will also factor weather and traffic conditions and rider gear requirements. States that will be involved in the study are California, Virginia and Florida, riders will be chosen from them.
The information will be collected through the use of small video recorders and other devices mounted on each of the rider’s bike. The video recorders will include the following views: forward, sides/rider’s hands, rider’s face, and rearward. The study will cover rider’s behaviour and their reaction time; it will also cover rider skills and decision making prior to a crash. It will also collect the sequence of events and factors in the leading up to a crash and the differences between evasive manoeuvres which will work and which will not.
As an experienced motor cycle attorney in Fort Lauderdale we have found these studies to be beneficial to riders to practice defensive riding. Whilst riding your bike should you and your passenger become a victim of injury due to the negligence of a driver or road user, you should seek legal counsel from a motor cycle attorney to ensure that you are compensated for your damages, loss of wages and medical bills incurred.
