This week on MCrider, I thought we’d do something a little different.
Most of the time, we focus on what riders should do on a motorcycle. But this week, we’re flipping that around and taking a look at riders who are either doing the totally wrong thing—or caught in some very unfortunate situations.
There are lessons here for all of us.
Grouped by Common Motorcycle Mistakes
To help you spot patterns and improve your own motorcycle safety, I’ve grouped these video clips into the following categories:
- Distraction
- Speed
- Lack of Training
- Loading
- Control
- No Road Strategy
- Maintenance
The first clip you’ll see isn’t of a motorcycle rider, but it clearly shows that distracted riding is dangerous—no matter what you ride.
Want to Avoid These Situations?
If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out the MCrider Field Guide and Road Strategy book. These resources are designed to help you develop the skills and awareness to stay out of situations just like the ones we cover in this video.
Final Thoughts
I hope you enjoyed this video. Please leave a comment below and share if you’ve ever found yourself in any of these situations.
I’ll admit—I’ve made a few mistakes myself over the years. But the goal here isn’t to beat ourselves up. It’s to learn from our mistakes and reduce the number of them in the future… and hopefully learn from the mistakes of these other riders, too.
Till next week—ride safe!
