We often talk about safe driving of motorcycles. Indeed, there are too many unstable and unsafe factors in this "meat wrapped iron" transportation tool, and any small scratch or touch may directly affect the life and health of the driver. As more and more friends join the cycling army, we have to introduce some issues that need attention about safe driving. Next, we will introduce in detail the purchase and use of motorcycle protective equipment for motorcycle enthusiasts, focusing on the necessary equipment for safe driving.
Helmets: It is clearly stipulated in China's traffic regulations that helmets must be worn when driving and riding two wheeled motorcycles, which shows the importance of helmets for motorcycle riders. When riders and passengers wear helmets, they can effectively protect the human head. Even in traffic accidents, the head will also be protected by helmets to reduce injuries and casualties.
Common helmets are divided into full helmet, three-quarters helmet, half helmet and open helmet. Full helmet is a helmet with good protection effect, but poor air permeability. Three fourths of helmets are between full helmets and half helmets, with moderate protection and ventilation. Uncover helmet is a kind of helmet that can choose full helmet and three-quarters helmet mode, and its safety is also very high. Half helmets are similar to the safety helmets used by construction workers. They have a small protective area and only protect the top of the head. We do not recommend drivers to choose such helmets. However, because of their small size, portability, good ventilation and other characteristics, many friends will choose to buy them for urban transportation.
When you choose helmets, you should not only choose the type of helmet, but also choose the size that is suitable for you. The correct choice of helmet should be a helmet of moderate size or even slightly tight. Do not choose a helmet of a larger size, then the safety factor will be greatly reduced.
In addition to the purchase of helmets, other body protectors are also very important during motorcycle riding, such as knee protection, elbow protection, gloves, riding clothes, etc. These are good safety protection for drivers. The purpose of choosing these fittings is not to make riders look more professional and cool, but to protect the life safety of drivers. There are many unstable factors in the process of motorcycle riding. For this high-risk travel mode, only complete protective measures can reduce the risk to a low level and effectively reduce the casualties caused by traffic accidents. However, no matter how many safety devices are installed, they are just additional protection. Safe driving, no overloading, no speeding, and improving safety awareness are the driving skills that riders should learn and master.
