  Basically...take a safety course. All of these items are covered in DETAIL in a decent MSF riding course.

  The number one thing that has saved me multiple times is watching the front tires of cars you are coming up on. That front tire will tell you before anything else they are going to pull out in front you. It works.

  I almost had a horrible accident a few years back. &nbsp;The car in front of me suddenly changed lanes and I saw the load of lumber in my path. &nbsp; There wasn&apos;t room to stop and I started to fixate on what I was about to hit. &nbsp;However I heard the voice of my instructor in my head yelling, &nbsp;Find the escape path and look at it. &nbsp; Thankfully the bike was light and very flickable. &nbsp;I managed to find and follow the path that avoided every board. &nbsp;After passing through that, I couldn&apos;t believe that I pulled it off.

  I always lightly use the rear brake when engine braking just to get the brake light on for people behind me

  &quot;Riding the clutch&quot; is a huge no-no in cars. On bikes it is required at low speeds. This mindset change has been one of the biggest hurdles for me thus far.

  I got my motorcycle license in 2012 and had my first lowside (just under 30 mph) and injury last fall. Broke my collar bone. I was geared up, and without it would have faired much worse. Armored shirt and gloves were shredded. Helmet face shield was destroyed, but my face is still pretty.😉 Riding pants frayed, but hip armour took the hit and slide. Bike landed/slid on my leg, and I was still in the riding position once I stopped. Anyway, I count myself lucky I got away with only a broken collar bone. Without the safety gear, it would have been worse. Wear it.

  wear your gear! &nbsp;i got hit by a texting college student last year, she hit me at 50 ish mph and i slid on the pavement about 50 ish feet... my gear looked like it had a fight with a cheese grater &nbsp;but i received almost no injury because i was wearing gear. this year i added an inflatable vest for longer / more dangerous rides like faster roads near a city with college students

  With regards to gear I heard these two that always stuck with me. “I’d rather sweat than bleed” and “If you can’t afford gear you can’t afford hospital bills”.
