If you've ever heard the old saying that someone has "more eyes than a pineapple bad item" possibly from now begin to relate well to ride motorcycles.
In our classes with students a recurring theme is to remind them with great insistence that @ s should be attentive to the surroundings at all times, especially back, where they forget to check all the time.
Much of the key to our survival is put a couple of technical in English is called SEE , as the word "see" and that means Scan, Evaluate, Execute (Scan, Evaluate and Execute) and the Lifesaver , or "Lifeguard."
For example, a classic case is that following a car going more or less closely due to the dam. In this situation, scanning my surroundings to see if there are vehicles to my left and right, checking the mirrors at least once or twice a minute and all this without losing sight or vehicles ahead, holes, unevenness, the gasoline and oil spills that may occur. In addition, I make sure circular side of the lane to see the driver of the car or truck through his mirrors with what I realize if you been talking with a passenger, if the cell is attached to the ear or by any other action that would make it a potential threat to my bike and me.
As the driver is distracted, as we saw in the rearview mirror, I start assess the situation and options I have to procure as safe as possible: go back, change lanes, make it sound to you the whistle or lights to change I noticed, and so on. Very important for this assessment is to be familiar with the capabilities of the bike , to the point that we can do very fast and complex calculations in a split second whether this has enough power to overtake and if the road conditions and time to maneuver are reasonable.
Once I studied the situation before and I made a decision acceptable and safe, I hasten to execute that action. I put my left turn, I'm going to fix anything that does not come back, I sound the whistle, low a march to gain power and rapid acceleration to pass just as soon as the march was before but now with more revs on the engine.
When finished, start again SEE cycle and scan the other cars and road conditions around me, assessed the new options and run the best I find it to meet my goal of arriving safely to my destination.
Now, the other technique, the or Lifeguard Lifesaver ,
is turning the head over his shoulder at an angle of 90 degrees (no more than 90 degrees because then it would no longer look forward to more time and fractional seconds are crucial), either left or right, just before making a lane change. If we consider that our mirrors will always have blind spots and can easily overlook a car or another bike approaching we will realize the importance of taking this precaution forever. We are not called Lifeguard. drawing red areas show the blind spots of mirrors. Hopefully always remember to follow these simple techniques of "Pineapple bad game", since these habits will depend a lot that we can continue to enjoy the bike as it should be: safe and responsibly. See you on the road!
