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
Q

Space margins

A
  • enough space to slow down when slippery
    -enough space for vehicle behind to slow down
    -enough space to move onto the shoulder
26
Q

Communication

A

Honk
tap brakes
-never rely on road users to see you

27
Q

Do - Once you have assessed Risk and chosen a solution what is the Do steps?

A

Speed Control
space margins
steering
communication

28
Q

What is the pecentage of multi vehicle T-bone or side impact motorcycle crashes?

A

31% - usually occurs other vehicles turns infront of an oncoming motorcycle

29
Q

Speed Control

A

Appropriate Speed
Steady Speed

30
Q

Maintaining appropriate Speed

A

-safest is slowest
50 km/h in cities /towns
80 km\h outside of cities/towns

31
Q

Maintaining a steady speed

A

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
Q

Is it legal to coast down hill in neutral?

A

No, you need to be in gear to safely control your vehicle.

33
Q

Physics for riders

A

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
Q

Steering

A

Low-speed
Countersteetring
Handling Curves

35
Q

Steering a low speed

A

Low = Upto 10km/h
-handlebars to left to turn left
-handlebars to right to turn right
-balance - body upright

36
Q

Countersteering

A

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
Q

Handling Curves

A

-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
Q

Space Margins

A

Space In front
Stopping distance
Space Behind
Space Beside
Lane position
Choosing a safe gap

39
Q

Space In Front

A
  • 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
Q

Stopping Distance

A
  • 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
Q

Space Behind

A
  • turning off a highway look in mirror - tailgaters!
    -slow down guadually
42
Q

What are the strategies for dealing with tailgaters?

A
  • 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
Q

Space Beside

A

-1 meter on each side
- leave an escape route to avoid hazard

44
Q

Land Position

A

Always choose Maximum visibility
Space:
Visibility
Traction

45
Q

Space Behind

A
  • turning off a highway look in mirror - tailgaters!
    -slow down guaduall
46
Q

Space - Lane Postion

A

dominant lane position (left)
away from large vehicles
distance from medians parked cars and debris

47
Q

Visibility - Lane Position

A

lets you see well ahead

48
Q

Traction _ Lane Position

A

position with good traction
clear of debris
stay away from painted /plastic lines

49
Q

What are the strategies of choosing a safe lane position?

A

-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
Q

What are dangerous lane positions?

A

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
Q

Choosing a safe gap.

A

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
Q

What determines if a Gap is enought space to enter?

A
  • Speed of traffic
  • time to complete your manoeuvre
    -time to accelerate
53
Q

Communication

A

Visibility
Eye Contact
Turn Signals
Brake Light
Horn
Vehicle clues

54
Q

Visible Communication

A

make yourself visible.
headlight on during day
bright cloths

55
Q

Eye Contact Communication

A

eye contact with vehicle that may pull into your path.
eye contact with pedestrians/ cyclysts

56
Q

Turn Signal Communication

A
  • 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
Q

Brake Light Communication

A

tells behind youi that your slowing down
-flashing before you slowdown
– slow down suddenly
– slow down unexpected place

58
Q

Horn Communication

A

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
Q

Vehicle Cues Communication

A
  • ## lane position can tell other what your doing to do.
