Riding a motorcycle is inherently riskier than any other mode of transportation. It requires more skill and awareness than driving a car. When riding you are more vulnerable to weather, being seen and injury. Riders must make every effort to minimize risk as there is very little room for error. Putting safety first is a fundamental aspect of being a good rider.
