From the case of model Ngoc Trinh, immediately grasp the skills to drive a motorbike safely.
Recently, a TikTok account named Ngoc Trinh often shares a series of images of driving a motorbike on social networks. However, when driving, the girl in the clip has many dangerous driving positions such as sitting with both legs to one side, standing on the bike with both arms outstretched while the bike is running at high speed.
On October 9, Ngoc Trinh was fined by the authorities for two violations of the Road Traffic Law after "performing" while driving in Thu Thiem ward. Specifically, Ngoc Trinh committed the violations of "Driving a vehicle with a covered license plate, no vehicle registration, no driver's license"; "Lying on the seat of a vehicle while driving, no driver's license" and temporarily detained the vehicle.
The police also determined that the road section where Ngoc Trinh "performed" sitting on the saddle and fell off the bike was Vo Chi Cong Street (High-Tech Park, Thu Duc City)...
In fact, besides owning a suitable vehicle model and the accompanying protective equipment, possessing safe motorcycle driving skills is a very important issue. Motorcyclists need to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to drive safely.
Appropriate protective gear
The first thing to keep in mind when driving a large displacement motorbike is to fully prepare protective equipment to ensure your own safety.
It is not mandatory for riders to always wear protective gear when riding a large displacement motorcycle, but it is a way to protect yourself from dangers, especially for new riders.
Driving a large displacement motorcycle is potentially very dangerous, sometimes not necessarily colliding with other vehicles, but just being careless can cause the driver to lose control and fall. In that case, protective gear will play a role in avoiding significant injuries to the driver.
Take a safe driving course
One of the important things that new motorcycle owners should not ignore is the lessons on safe motorcycle driving skills. These courses will provide useful information on safety rules when driving on the road, how to react to dangerous traffic situations when driving a motorcycle and practice them right in the lesson.
The instructor will give you some additional tips on how to maintain your motorcycle. The course will also cover the basics of operation and safety. Many centers have both a classroom and a practice area, and at the end of the course there will be an exam to earn a certificate.
Wear shoes instead of sandals
Motorcycle shoes cover the ankles, they will protect the feet and ankles. Absolutely do not wear sandals when driving a motorcycle because it will not ensure safety when the vehicle is running, especially making it difficult to put your feet down to stop the vehicle.
Large displacement motorcycles all have a 1 forward gear and 5 clutch gears, traveling on long journeys and constantly having to engage the clutch with your foot exposed is dangerous. In addition, with a large capacity engine right where your foot is, it will quickly heat up and radiate heat directly.
One thing to note when choosing motorcycle shoes is that the sole must be designed to be anti-slip. Avoid the case of slipping when the foot is against the slippery road surface and the shoes lack the necessary friction.
Habit of putting hand on brake
Getting into the habit of always having at least one finger on the brake will help shorten the reaction time when using the handbrake. In unexpected accident situations, just a second without applying the brake can make a big difference in stopping or colliding.
When driving at slow speeds, especially in urban areas with dense populations, the rear brake should be used to help stabilize the vehicle without increasing its speed. Practicing the skill of balancing the throttle and brake is always an important requirement before starting the "speed" journeys.
Hug your legs when getting in the car
Hugging the thighs and knees close to the body of the car while driving will help the driver and the car become one connected block. From there, it helps the driver maintain better balance while braking or going through corners and slopes, and at the same time contributes to reducing the wind resistance created by the body while driving.
Quick movements may seem like no problem, however, rushing to get on the bike will cause many people to lose balance and easily get caught on the high rear seat, causing them to fall off the bike.
Place the ball of your foot on the footrest
When continuously driving on long distances, if the driver can give up the habit of placing the middle of the shoe sole or heel on the footrest, the driver will avoid vibrations from the road spreading along the shins to the upper body, thereby feeling much less tired.
In addition, placing the toes on the footrest will increase the elasticity of the feet and ankles, helping the driver increase flexible reflexes when operating the vehicle.
