•Wear brightly-coloured clothes.
•Do not drive too close to other vehicles or in another driver’s blind spot.
•Avoid overtaking.
4. Always follow local traffic regulations.
•Driving above the speed limit is the reason for many accidents. Driving speed must not exceed the limit specified by traffic
regulations and allowed by road conditions.

4. Make sure that any extra load is securely attached to the vehicle to prevent it from falling and being lost.
5. Do not hang any load on the handlebars or the suspension.
