Motorcycle Safety Tips

At Best Buy Auto & Home Insurance Agency Inc, we care about the well-being of our clients and want to help every rider stay safe on the road. Whether you’re a seasoned motorcyclist or just starting out, understanding local laws and practicing safe riding habits are essential steps toward keeping yourself and others safe on the road.

Essential Motorcycle Safety Tips

Staying safe starts with preparation and awareness. Here are some key tips for riders in your area:

• Wear proper gear. Always wear a DOT-approved helmet, eye protection, gloves, long sleeves, pants and sturdy boots. Protective gear can significantly reduce injuries in the event of an accident.
• Stay visible. Use reflective clothing and keep your headlights on, even during the day. Position yourself in traffic so you’re easily seen by other drivers.
• Ride defensively. Assume other motorists may not see you. Keep a safe distance, avoid blind spots and be prepared to react to sudden changes in traffic.
• Check your bike. Regularly inspect your motorcycle’s brakes, tires, lights and fluid levels to ensure everything is in good working order.
• Avoid distractions and impairment. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and keep your focus on the road at all times.

Motorcycle Laws You Should Know About

Arizona has specific laws designed to keep riders safe:

• Helmet use. Riders under 18 are required to wear a helmet. However, all riders are encouraged to wear one for maximum protection.
• Eye protection. All riders must use protective eyewear unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windscreen.
• Insurance requirements. State law requires all motorcycle owners to carry minimum liability insurance. This helps cover third-party damages or injuries if you’re involved in an accident.
