Steps to Avoid Motorcycle Accident When Riding in Rainy or on Icy Road

Learn on ways to ride carefully and safely when there are rock pebbles in road and long narrow road and what to consider when your tires slide without control on ice or slippery surfaces.

There is great guideline for motorcycle enthusiasts that offer good practical information on how to care hazardous riding conditions.

Bike riders have to also show careful forethought for rain on dry road. An initial rain on a dry surface is not easy to ride on, still for cars. The mixture of water, dirt and oil on the road makes a slippery surface. The first half hour of a heavy rain is causing great danger to start riding on the road.


Riding in rain water. A few motorcycle tires can cause gliding on the water in a seaplane if riding through a pond of water.

Snow and ice. This road condition is more harmful for motorcycle than for car.

Railway lines and crossings. Motorcycle wheals can get struck in a railway line, giving rise to a crash possibility. A few railway crossing lines installed metal or wood blocks between the tracks that become very much superficial when get wet.

Slippery surfaces. The number of things and surfaces that cab cause things to slip are many. Sliding surfaces, to a great extent are more unsafe for motorcycles than for cars. The unbalanced condition of a motorcycle and the smaller, more lightsome size has the sense that slipping on the road can simply bring about a crash. Slippery surfaces are still more harmful if the biker is taking move. The following road conditions can be very tricky, in particular when wet:
  • leaves
  • pedestrian crossing lines
  • shopping cart tracks
  • further painted surfaces, and
  • liquid or oil.
Waste or other objects in the road. Waste or other things in the road, for instance parts of tire crushes, things dropped from trucks (fixtures, tools and boxes), tree branches, or big stones, are more damaging to motorcycles than cars. Not such things can give rise to a crash, although the object itself can strike and critically harm the rider.

As might be expected, the motorcyclists conduct may have led to the accident too. When a rider is running on over speed, or weaving on the public busy road, his conduct may block his settlement in a road accident.

Using Helmet
If your state ruled motorcycle riders to use a helmet and you got a head injury at the same time as not using a helmet, it will be not so easy to recover personal injury compensation to a high extent for your head injury. You might even be able to get compensation for further injuries, although.) The reality is that your state enforcing a helmet law itself proves your comparative negligence.

A motorcycle rider in this case might even be able to recover some settlement by giving evidence that the injury would have took place even due to helmet. Although, it is not an easy task and - when possible in any way - seek the services of a qualified personal injury lawyer.
