• The faster vehicle yields to the slower vehicle
• The one on the left yields to the one on the right
• The larger vehicle yields to the smaller vehicle
• The vehicle going straight yields to the one turning

Why: At an uncontrolled intersection, if another vehicle arrived first you slow down and yield. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.

• The rear brake gives most of your stopping power, so always use it first
• The front brake is the weaker one, so use only the rear brake in a curve
• The front brake gives about 70 per cent of stopping power; use both smoothly
• Both brakes stop the bike equally, so each should get half of the pressure

Why: The front brake is the most powerful and provides about 70 per cent of your stopping power. Apply the brakes smoothly with gradually increasing pressure, preferably when the bike is upright and moving in a straight line.

• 80 km/h
• 70 km/h
• 60 km/h
• 40 km/h

Why: When approaching stopped vehicles displaying flashing lights, drive no faster than 70 km/h if the speed limit is 80 km/h or more, and no faster than 40 km/h if it is below 80 km/h. If you are in the lane nearest the vehicle, change lanes if it is safe.

• From one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise, or visibility under 50 m
• Only when it is fully dark outside, or when it is raining or snowing
• From 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise, or visibility under 150 m
• From sunset to sunrise only, with no exception for fog or heavy rain

Why: By law the headlight must be on from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise, or if visibility is reduced to less than 150 metres. On newer motorcycles the headlight is always on when the engine is running.

• Squeeze both brakes firmly and steadily, and do not release and reapply
• Pump both brakes quickly and repeatedly so that the system can do its work
• Use only the front brake, because the rear brake could make its wheel lock
• Release the brakes just before the wheel shudders, then apply them again

Why: On a motorcycle with ABS, apply continuous, firm, hard pressure to both brake levers; the sensors release and reapply the brakes automatically. Releasing and reapplying turns the system off. ABS does not let you ride faster or always stop sooner.
