Essential skills to ride a motorcycle better

With a large number of motorbikes in Vietnam, studying basic skills to control them is vital to stay in safety. Especially, when running high speed, managing motorcycles is hard. Learning these rules can help you to get better to use a motorbike in Vietnam.

1. Be alert to signs

When operating a motorbike, you are both proactive and passive. The passive situation comes when many other vehicles also run. So, be calm to watch traffic signs such as signal lights… and listen to horns … to react promptly to any situations on the road.

2. Overtake other vehicles when necessary

Most people think that going at a slow speed, should not overtake other motorbikes or cars is safe. However, in many cases, it is advisable to go pass these vehicles when there is enough space and time, not pass when seeing it not safe. Be careful when you cannot takeover slow-running transportation, they can stop or turn left or right immediately.

 3. Have wide and far observation

Wide viewing is especially necessary when you travel on small, narrow roads that cut with many other streets, especially going through residential areas. Always be ready to brake at any time by placing 1 or 2 fingers on the hand brake as supporting reaction.

 4. Get wriggling skills

With the chaotic traffic situation like in Vietnam, wriggling skills are also important for you to save time and reduce traffic congestion. But be aware that when your vehicle moves through small spaces, you go in the correct lane and make full use of traffic signals such as turning signals and horns.

5. Run with appropriate speed ​​

Traveling at a speed that is sufficient for you to control the situation on the roads and you do not violate traffic laws; especially speed up only when you realize that the space in front of you is enough to use the brake if there is an unexpected situation.

6. Go to the correct gear level

A lot of people, especially women, only use one gear when controlling a geared motorcycle. Please change the gear following the speed of travel to ensure your safety and durability of the vehicle.

If you run on mountain roads with a lot of steep passes, use low gear. It is because when going uphill, the lower gear will help transfer more torque, while the lower gear will hold the car away from inertia. This skill is called the engine brake.

7. Move with a group with correct rules

If you travel with a group of motorbikes, the safe way is to move in groups of rows 1 and max of 2, not 3 rows, depending on the width of the road. Each person should strictly adhere to his or her position in the group, operate the vehicle so that person does not enter the blind spot of the person going in front, and make sure to observe the person behind in the rearview mirror.

8. Control cornerings properly

Slow down, return to a low gear, observe the road surface before cornering, especially not interrupt the clutch. Be careful with the other vehicles running in the opposite way.

Many people naturally tilt in the opposite direction of the vehicle when cornering with high speed. This is a mistake because when the rider and a motorbike are not in the same direction of movement, plus high speed, the motorbike loses the balance, it very easy to fall. When the corner is wide enough and you ride with the high speed (be careful with high speed), you should tilt with the vehicle (enough to make it balance), and lower the knee to expand the focus of the person and the vehicle, then the motorbike enters the corner safely.

9. Use the brakes properly

Combine both front and rear brakes, with the front braking force equal to 60-70% of the rear brakes. Limit the use of brakes when it rains, the roads are wet, and you should use a low gear and run with suitable speeds.

Safe riding a motorbike is the happiness of everyone. Controlling the motorcycle correctly is the best way to protect you and other people. When traveling in Vietnam with a motorbike, you need to know the traffic rules and riding habits of the local people clearly. Or, many motorbike-for-rent shops and travel companies in Vietnam also offer motorbike drivers who can ride the vehicles and you sit at the back of him to enjoy the views.
