Q

Your on a windy road, going up hill and a car behind is keeping distance. At the crest of the hill you see a large truck in the opposite lane and a car in your lane coming at you. The shoulder is not a good surface to ride on. What do you do?

A

Slow down
Steer out of the way
Honk horn and flash brake lights.

Q

Steering

A

Can I stay in control if I steer away from the hazard?

25
Space margins
- enough space to slow down when slippery -enough space for vehicle behind to slow down -enough space to move onto the shoulder
26
Communication
Honk tap brakes -never rely on road users to see you
27
Do - Once you have assessed Risk and chosen a solution what is the Do steps?
Speed Control space margins steering communication
28
What is the pecentage of multi vehicle T-bone or side impact motorcycle crashes?
31% - usually occurs other vehicles turns infront of an oncoming motorcycle
29
Speed Control
Appropriate Speed Steady Speed
30
Maintaining appropriate Speed
-safest is slowest 50 km/h in cities /towns 80 km\h outside of cities/towns
31
Maintaining a steady speed
use, gears, brakes and throttle -high gears to increase speed -low gears to decrease speed/ more power - front brakes powerful -70% of stopping power. -apply brakes gradually increase pressure
32
Is it legal to coast down hill in neutral?
No, you need to be in gear to safely control your vehicle.
33
Physics for riders
Interia - keeps you going, faster more force Traction -grip tires on road - road condition highly impact this. Gravity - riding down hill, more distance to stop
34
Steering
Low-speed Countersteetring Handling Curves
35
Steering a low speed
Low = Upto 10km/h -handlebars to left to turn left -handlebars to right to turn right -balance - body upright
36
Countersteering
Higher than 10km/h - steadier -lean to make a turn -lean to the curve -push right, lean right, go right -push left, lean left, go left
37
Handling Curves
-Slow down before entering a curve -Faster you go the harder you push the handlebar to turn into the curve -brake abruptly = loose traction -hit wet or rouch patch = loose traction -lean to much = skid and fall.
38
Space Margins
Space In front Stopping distance Space Behind Space Beside Lane position Choosing a safe gap
39
Space In Front
- 2 seconds of space in front to stop - 3 behind a large vehicle - 4 seconds in bad weather - measure by picking a object - count 3secs when the vehicle infront passes the object
40
Stopping Distance
- momment you notice a hazard and when you stop -3/4 of a sec to see-think 3/4 of sec to do -braking distance depends on your speed double speed = 4 x the braking distance. triple = 9x the braking distance
41
Space Behind
- turning off a highway look in mirror - tailgaters! -slow down guadually
42
What are the strategies for dealing with tailgaters?
- move to another lane -turn right at the next intersection -pull off the road so they can pass -double flashing brake lights - maintain dominant lane position ( left ) -change lane position and change back.
43
Space Beside
-1 meter on each side - leave an escape route to avoid hazard
44
Land Position
Always choose Maximum visibility Space: Visibility Traction
45
Space Behind
- turning off a highway look in mirror - tailgaters! -slow down guaduall
46
Space - Lane Postion
dominant lane position (left) away from large vehicles distance from medians parked cars and debris
47
Visibility - Lane Position
lets you see well ahead
48
Traction _ Lane Position
position with good traction clear of debris stay away from painted /plastic lines
49
What are the strategies of choosing a safe lane position?
-Crest of hill - move to center lane position -Curves - best view through the curve ahead -Trucks/Large Vehicles = Right position and 3secs before moving back -Weather - Heavy gusts - Center Lane
50
What are dangerous lane positions?
Lane Splitting - vehicle could change lanes or open a door, no space margin and illegal Riding on the shoulder: dangerous/traction and illegal Ridding side by side: reduces space margin
51
Choosing a safe gap.
Stopped and proceed - 2sec per lane to go straight -5secs to turn right and get to 50km/h -7secs turn left and get to 50km/h
52
What determines if a Gap is enought space to enter?
- Speed of traffic - time to complete your manoeuvre -time to accelerate
53
Communication
Visibility Eye Contact Turn Signals Brake Light Horn Vehicle clues
54
Visible Communication
make yourself visible. headlight on during day bright cloths
55
Eye Contact Communication
eye contact with vehicle that may pull into your path. eye contact with pedestrians/ cyclysts
56
Turn Signal Communication
- not automatic switches -Be timely - signal way ahead of time -Be clear - not too soon -Be visible - always use then or hand signals too -Mean what you say = always cancel after manoeuvre -Only use your left arm for hand signals
57
Brake Light Communication
tells behind youi that your slowing down -flashing before you slowdown -- slow down suddenly -- slow down unexpected place
58
Horn Communication
Quickly get someones attention: - approaching intersection same time, unable to make eye contact -passing someone that doesn' see you and they are entering your lane - parked car looks ready to pull out - car backing out into your path -pedestian about to step out in your path and you can't stop in time.
59
Vehicle Cues Communication
- lane position can tell other what your doing to do. -
