Case 2 What to learn from this accident …

  • Always expect the unexpected
  • Stay away from bicycles, they may move erratically
  • Collisions with pedestrians or cyclists can be as

harmful as with a passenger car

As a motorcycle rider: As a bicycle rider:

  • Watch out for motorized vehicles, they may approach

you faster than you would expect

  • Always be predictable and don’t surprise others

when you start

regret having saved a few bucks

motorcyclists

Conclusions

  • Try to learn from others, especially from their

mistakes, since you certainly don’t want to repeat them

  • Don’t put your health or life in the hands of other

road users and accept (too many) risks

  • Reducing your speed will increase your safety

margins in several ways.

  • Don’t compromise on quality and technological

advances.
