As a rider, you can lessen your chances of being involved in an accident by:

To reduce the risk of a collision, be sure to make yourself visible, clearly communicate your intentions, maintain an adequate space cushion, search your path of travel, and identify and separate hazards. Always be prepared to react to any hazard that could arise.

• Not looking ahead for hazards.
• Refraining from using turn signals, as doing so could distract other drivers.
• Being visible to other drivers.
