Let us look at why it’s a great idea to attend a track school training if you ride a motorcycle. It doesn’t matter if you ride on the road for commute, long tours, you ride a commuter bike, a tourer, an adventure bike or a sport bike. Also there is a misconception that track schools are for racing… which is completely wrong.

Current state of Motorcycle Riding and Coaching in India

If you look at Indian context and riding on a motorcycle, you would realize that, here in India we don’t have a structured way of teaching someone how to ride a motorcycle. All of us learnt how to ride a motorcycle by the help of a friend, colleague, neighbor, uncle or someone who made us sit on a machine with 2 wheels and an engine and just told us how to use the throttle. I am sure all of you have the experience of figuring out the remaining part of riding through panic and falls in the following days and months (probably years too) 🙂

Motorcyclists are injured in a big or minor rear-end collision when a driver as failed to adequately adjust their speed for the motorcycle ahead of them as it slows down or comes to a stop. This often occurs because the driver is following too closely (i.e., tailgating), speeding or does not look ahead properly before making a move in traffic.

For any queries concerning motorcycle safety laws and how to win cases of such accidents reach out to motorcycle accident lawyers Rochester.

Here is a list of most common reasons for road accidents (Not necessarily the only ones)

  1. Panic braking
  2. Target Fixation
  3. Narrow vision
  4. Steering input
  5. Abrupt navigation

[Panic Braking] is the most common reasons for road accidents. Panic braking happens when you are riding and something unexpected happens like a new speed breaker, a person crossing the road, a dog/cat/cow running across or even a new pothole. Most riders in such panic situations, jam the rear brakes and ends up falling. What jamming the rear brake does is to lock the rear wheel and the motorcycle goes into something called ‘fish-tail’ where the front wheel is going faster but rear slides. This causes the rider to go out of balance and crash. When this happens, call Maryland Car Accident Lawyers immediately for legal advice and consultation about your case.
