Safety of Motorcyclists in Heavy Traffic

There are always heavy traffic every Monday morning on Penang bridge. A lot of cars , lorries, buses and motorcyclists are going to cross this Penang bridge which is only have two lanes provided. So, of course all the vehicles will be stuck at the toll gate.

It is dangerous when i saw motorcyclists strive to be the first and fear to lag behind to cross the bridge. I would share some safety of motorcyclists when caught in heavy traffic for those motorists to draw their attention to prevent collision with motorcyclists.

1. For car driver, look through the back windows or windshields of cars in front of you,pass only in instances where it's legal and safe.

2. Stay out of other motorists' blind spots. Motorcyclists always need to assume they're invisible to everyone else.

3. When riding in heavy traffic on a highway, try to stay toward the center of the lane; this allows other traffic to see you more easily.

4.Try to refrain from weaving in and out of traffic, as drivers cannot predict where you're going to be next.
