Ride Safe : Loss of Control

The two main reasons for loss of control collisions are shunts and road surface conditions.

Shunts

These are usually down to riding too close to the vehicle in front, or the vehicle behind you being too close. To protect yourself:

  • leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front
  • be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear
  • if the vehicle behind is too close give yourself more room in front.
