Positioning


Positioning
Maintaining the proper lane position is a crucial part of an effective street
strategy.
Space
Maintain a space cushion on all sides of your motorcycle. This helps provide
adequate reaction time if evasive maneuvers are necessary. It also helps create
an "escape route."
Lane Placement
In general, when riding alone on a straight road most people prefer to ride in
the left third of the lane. It provides you the best line of sight for the road
ahead, and makes you most visible to oncoming traffic. However, always be
prepared to make adjustments based on road conditions and traffic patterns.
Following Distance
Always leave a minimum of two seconds between you and the vehicle in front of
you. The ideal following distance will vary depending on road conditions and
other factors.
