▶ Drive according to the motorcycle driving rules and regulations.
▶ Riding a motorcycle is very different from driving a car and requires a lot of caution.
▶ So when we change gears; When refueling and braking, road conditions and traffic must be taken into consideration.
▶ The picture below shows the situations we may encounter while riding a motorcycle.
▶ Therefore, it is advisable to drive carefully with these conditions in mind.
▶ Driving a motorcycle is more dangerous than other vehicles, so you need to be very careful.
Use of protective clothing
❖ Riding a motorcycle using the right clothing will help protect yourself from any major danger.
❖ It is said that a motorcycle rider must wear proper clothing
▶ Hat
▶ Face and eye protection
▶ It includes safety clothing

Types of helmets
There are two types of helmets
▶ A helmet that covers ¾th (three quarters) of our face
▶ A helmet that covers our feet completely
▶ A helmet is one of the safety clothing that can prevent accidents on a motorcycle rider's head.
▶ Falling on a motorcycle is a rare occurrence, and the rider suffers serious head and neck injuries in the collision.
▶ According to a study conducted on drivers who have been involved in an accident while riding a motorcycle, it has been shown that drivers who wear the correct helmet have a reduced rate of head and neck injuries.
▶ Some motorcyclists do not use helmets because it reduces our side vision, and some say that helmets are only for long trips and when driving fast.
▶ But whether we are driving a short distance or a long distance, wearing a helmet can prevent half of head and neck injuries during an accident.
▶ A helmet is divided into two types: one that covers the entire head and face and one that covers three quarters of the head and face.
Front eye protection
▶ In addition to protecting the face from collisions, protective clothing made of plastic
▶ Protects from dust, rain, various flying insects and body thrown from a loose vehicle.
▶ Face and eye protection is one of the precautions that a motorcyclist should take while riding as it can expose them to the problems mentioned above.
▶ Eye mask Google does more than protect the eyes from damage, it does the same functions as a face mask.
▶ The motorcycle windshield can replace the face shield and eye mask Google function.
▶ Eyeglasses may be blown off by the wind when they are turned to the side or another direction during travel, so wear them properly before starting the trip and use them during the trip. .
Safety clothing
▶ Using the right clothing for a motorcycle rider not only prevents accidents during collisions, but also protects against heat, cold, dirt and moving parts of the engine.
▶ When a motorcycle rider uses a jacket and other clothing, they must be able to cover the arms and legs completely.
The clothes should be made to move easily on the body but have excess material and not flutter in the wind.
Wearing leather and synthetic clothing is better protection against accidents, as wind can dehydrate the body.
However, they must be designed to provide service without generating too much heat.
Shoes
The size of the shoes should be high enough to cover the ankles, be able to bear the weight, the rest of the shoes should be strong and non-slip, and should be short so that the heels touch the ground on rough roads.
Gloves
❖ It is used to hold the steering wheel of the motorcycle well and protect the hands from accidents in the event of a collision.
❖ Gloves should be made of leather or similar material that can be used repeatedly.
❖ In cold or wet weather, gloves not only keep you warm but also protect you from injury.
❖ Since the hands cannot control the motorcycle in cold weather, proper use of gloves is a good solution to adjust clothing and avoid riding for long periods in cold weather.
Notification of service of motorcycle control units
❖ In order to further develop the knowledge gained in theory in the classroom, seeing some of the motorcycle parts in action in person will help broaden their horizons of knowledge.
❖ Since the main daily task of drivers is to drive a vehicle, they should see the locations and functions of the vehicle's control units and practice touching them in order to safely deliver the vehicle from one place to the desired place without any problems during the trip.
Therefore, after completing the theory lesson, a rider needs to see and practice the following motorcycle control parts location, function and function before proceeding directly to driving.
▶ Motorcycle engine starter
▶ Fuel supply
▶ Brake
▶ Gear
▶ Frisian
▶ Leader
Use of dash board equipment
Side / Brake / Light Indicator :-
It shows to the driver whether the brake used by the driver is in the desired direction and its condition after using it.
Gear status indicator
It is the unit that informs the driver that the motorcycle is in zero gear by the indicator light.
Speed meter
It gives information to the rider about how many kilometers per hour the motorcycle is traveling. Based on the information obtained from this device, the rider must adjust the motorcycle speed, taking into account the local weather conditions, topography, and the local road speed limit.
Tribne Od meter
A motorcycle is a device used to measure the distance traveled in one trip, and if the rider wants to measure the distance of a place, he must reset the counter to zero before starting the trip and start counting the distance from one.
Odd meter
It records the total distance traveled in kilometers from the time a motorcycle is manufactured to the time it is due, and is a tool used to accurately track the service and maintenance period of a motorcycle.
Tacho meter
Engine rev indicator is a part that gives information to the rider about how many revolutions per minute the engine of a motorcycle is.
Front light indicator
When the driver is using the front light, it tells the driver whether the light is working or not, as well as short or long beam.
Design and placement on a motorcycle
Engine removal
Practicing climbing on a motorcycle with your hands on the steering wheel, not in a position that allows you to turn
position
The hand should be positioned far enough away from the steering wheel to be able to grip the steering wheel with the arms slightly bent so that it is possible to use tools on the steering wheel.
Hand position
Keeping the steering wheel grip steady on rough surfaces and using the right gloves can help prevent unnecessary fuel spills in an emergency. Having a section on the steering wheel below the elbow allows the muscles to command the steering wheel more accurately and comfortably.
Knee position
Putting torque on the side of the fuel tank keeps the motorcycle balanced as it turns.
Foot position
To be able to ride in balance, placing feet on the right footrests will help prevent accidents and prevent the motorcycle from becoming an obstacle.
Moving the motorcycle from a standing position
Drivers can check the front and rear of their vehicle before starting a journey, and after applying Spokeo, they can scan the road conditions from the rear and turn their heads to see and control the general environment and traffic conditions.
Use of control units
Management of leadership
❖ A motorcycle steering wheel is used to enable the rider to steer the motorcycle in the desired direction.
❖ As a motorcycle has two legs, it is necessary to be very careful to turn from one direction to another using the steering wheel.
❖ A motorcycle traveling at low speed may not have much difficulty turning from one direction to another.
❖ But it is difficult to turn a motorcycle at high speed in the desired direction.
❖ If the motorcycle is speeding, it is recommended to slow down the motorcycle before turning or turning.
❖ However, if it is necessary to turn or turn in a situation where the rider cannot reduce the speed of the motorcycle before turning, a different steering method should be used than the turning or turning technique used during low speed.
❖ When the motorcycle is at low speed, the rider can change the direction by simply tilting the steering handle in the direction of turning. .
❖ However, when the motorcycle is at high speed, when it is necessary to change the direction / turn / at the same speed, push forward the steering handle of the motorcycle opposite to the direction it is turning, and put weight on the steering handle in the direction it is turning. It has to be turned around.
Use of brakes
❖ Brakes play a major role in slowing down a moving motorcycle to stop it and controlling the motorcycle as needed.
❖ A motorcycle has two different brakes that are fitted in different places but serve the same purpose.
❖ Motorcycle brakes are applied to the front and rear legs, and the brake applied to the front leg is 75 percent more powerful than the brake applied to the rear leg, so care must be taken when handling the brakes.
❖ Using both brakes at the same time to slow down or stop the motorcycle while traveling makes the brake safe, so it is recommended that drivers use it properly.
❖ There is a situation where drivers are at risk of accidents due to not properly understanding the handling of motorcycle brakes or not applying both brakes while accelerating due to lack of experience.
❖ Especially if the front foot brakes hard from the rear, the motorcycle has a tendency to rise or jump, which makes the rider control the motorcycle properly.
❖ Note:- When using the rear brake on motorcycles, there is a situation where the front foot does not move directly. This is because the braking process is designed to hold both brakes together, so riders should consult the motorcycle manual in advance regarding our motorcycle control unit.
Use of motorcycle gear
❖ If the speeding motorcycle wants to slow down due to various reasons, it should not be downshifted from the high speed gear to the low gear at the same time, but should maintain the sequence and bring the correct motorcycle engine revolution and tire speed to the gear.
❖ The gear needs to be increased from low speed to high speed of the motorcycle engine rev.
❖ Motorcyclists must slow down a speeding motorcycle before reaching a turn.
❖ It is not recommended to shift the gear from high gear to increase the speed of the motorcycle while turning.
❖ But if it is necessary to increase, it should be done very cautiously.
❖ Following a sudden gear change, a sudden power difference in the rear leg will cause the rear leg to lock up or grip the ground, causing the tire to spin.
❖ Therefore, it is preferable to change gears from high to low and from low to high before entering the turning position.
It can reduce the error that can be caused by not following the motorcycle gear shifting system in hilly road conditions.
▶ Always hold the front brake of the motorcycle when starting the engine and entering the first gear
▶ To give fuel with the right hand, change the brake handle from hand to foot and give less fuel to the engine to have more power.
▶ Release friction slowly
▶ When the engine is in good condition, release the foot brake completely
Note: Releasing the friction pedal too quickly can cause the front foot to go off the road, the engine to stop, and extreme caution is required.
Engine start
▶ Although not all types of motorcycles follow the same engine ignition method, most engine ignition procedures are as follows.
▶ The driver is on a motorcycle
▶ Insert the key into the engine starter
▶ Turn the key to ``On''
▶ Make sure the gear is at zero
▶ Hold the friction handle with the left hand
▶ To start the engine, press the finger of the right hand or, if it is a foot-started engine, step on the starting lever until the engine starts.
▶ Wait until it is adjusted because the minimum torque is high when the motorcycle engine is started
▶ If the minimo is returned to the correct position, the motorcycle is ready for travel, so start the trip
Friction use
▶ Motorcycle friction is a wet type of friction that interacts with transmission oil.
▶ Most friction parts are made up of flat metals and materials that have the properties of a canvas.
▶ The inner part of the sheet metal has protruding edges where it meets the engine crankshaft.
▶ The metal ends on the opposite end have protruding ends on the inner part where they connect to the cam shaft.
▶ In most motorcycles, the rider uses the friction shift lever on the left side of the handlebars to shift into or out of gear.
▶ When the driver pulls back on this friction control handle, the engine-to-cab circuit is interrupted.
Fuel delivery
▶ Motorcyclist The condition of the motorcyclist has a significant contribution to control the movement of the motorcyclist.
▶ Refueling and refueling should take into account the road, traffic, motorcycle engine power and local weather conditions.
▶ In rough and slippery road conditions and when changing from one direction to another, if the fuel supply does not take these conditions into account, it can reduce the possibility of controlling the motorcycle, so it is necessary to be very careful.
▶ To increase or decrease the amount of fuel, the driver rotates the fuel lever on the right side of the handle in the desired direction.
▶ To increase the amount of fuel, rotate the fuel pump backwards with the right hand and forwards to decrease the amount of fuel.
row management
▶ Drivers are required to drive in the direction they want to drive, obeying the rules and regulations of the middle lane of the road and keeping their row. Therefore, when a driver wants to occupy a row and after occupying a row, he must perform the following actions.
▶ Looking and controlling the environment well by using the speaker and turning the head
▶ Driving without leaving the center line of the road
▶ Adjust the speed of the vehicle according to the traffic condition to easily control the steering wheel and brake
▶ It is never recommended to sway the steering wheel, sudden braking and high speed when following, trailing and side-by-side vehicles.
▶ Drive keeping a proper distance / 3 second rule/
▶ Understanding and monitoring the communication devices and messages of the vehicle in front
▶ Understanding the behavior of drivers driving in the area and the technical condition of the vehicle
▶ Respect the speed limit given for the road
Speed and distance control
Control your speed while driving and maintain the direction of the road.
❖ Driving too close is the main cause of accidents and increases collisions, so drivers should be aware when traveling.
▶ Their speed
▶ The general condition of the road
▶ The amount of traffic
▶ Remote display of the local weather
▶ Technical condition of the vehicle
▶ Their own vigilance and efficiency, that is, their ability to quickly prevent danger
▶ To understand the fulfillment of their health and all the conditions that should be considered in connection with it. Therefore, whenever a driver is driving, he should keep enough distance between him and the vehicles following behind him. When driving a motorcycle, it is appropriate to drive at a distance of 3/3/second from the vehicle in front.
▶ The driver traveling in front of him may suddenly or accidentally change direction or stop, so enough time is needed to be able to make a change of decision by seeing the movement.
▶ Therefore, in order to save the motorcycle from a collision, it is necessary to reduce the speed by thinking and deciding quickly, so it is necessary to know that an unexpected accident may occur due to negligence caused by the driver not keeping enough distance.
▶ Drive at least 3/three/seconds from the following vehicle at each vehicle speed, and drive 4/4/seconds away from the vehicle in front when the weather is rainy, dark and the road conditions are not clear.
▶ Under no circumstances should it be a cause of danger to confuse others by changing directions. Therefore, the things that should not be done while driving are boasting that nothing will happen; Talking to the person sitting behind; Unreasonable lane changes and improper racing are against traffic safety and should be avoided.
▶ Therefore, always match the speed with other drivers on the road, maintain the right lane, pay attention to local traffic, and drive carefully and sensibly.
Preceding and preceding
Advance the vehicle
▶ Looking at the rear view mirror of the vehicle that has signaled us and the vehicle that is coming fast
▶ Showing a hand signal that we are willing to pass the vehicle
▶ Application on the right side of the spoke or turning the neck to make sure there are no other vehicles
▶ Slow down until the vehicle in front occupies the right lane. To pass the vehicle coming in front, stay close to the edge of the road on the right side and leave enough space to pass.
▶ If drivers want to pass in mountainous and steep areas, the driver going down the slope should
▶ The driver going uphill has the obligation to slow down or stop as needed.
Overtaking a vehicle
▶ Assume that the road is two-way and the width of the road is small
▶ Checking the absence of rear and side wheels by turning the head and using the left and center spokes
▶ Making sure that a lala vehicle coming from the front does not try to overtake the lala by saying that he left the row slightly to the left.
▶ Showing a hand signal at a sufficient time and distance
▶ Sound a warning signal to prevent the vehicle in front from suddenly changing direction and causing an accident
▶ Make sure that the road is bidirectional and is divided by a broken line
▶ Realizing that the way forward is on the left side
▶ Looking and checking the area again with Spokyo /turning the head/
▶ Increasing speed and overtaking the vehicle in front, observing the speed and distance of the preceding vehicle and maintaining a row after traveling a certain distance in order to maintain a row without causing an accident
▶ Remembering that it is forbidden to go ahead as a third layer
▶ Understanding that it is not a forbidden place to advance
▶ Assuming that there is enough distance to get back to the right lane before approaching a vehicle coming from the other direction
▶ Looking at the mirror and giving the correct signal at a sufficient distance and time
Giving priority at intersections and intersections
▶ When any motorcyclist arrives at an intersection, he must give priority to a vehicle entering the intersection.
▶ If two or more vehicles from different directions arrive at the intersection at the same time, any driver must give priority to the vehicle approaching from the right.
▶ If a traffic island circle has been made at an intersection, the vehicle approaching the circle must give priority to the vehicles already going around the circle.
▶ Any vehicle must slow down before reaching intersections and give priority to vehicles coming from the right.
▶ Vehicles coming on the main and Megbi road must stop and give priority to vehicles traveling on the main road.
▶ Do not attempt to cross the intersection by driving at a high speed when the green traffic light is on, because it is necessary to be careful in advance to avoid sudden collisions when encountering various violators, such as fire trucks, ambulances, drivers who have developed the understanding of the traffic lights due to alcohol poisoning, etc.
▶ As soon as you enter the intersection, when the traffic light turns yellow, it is necessary to try to leave the road as quickly as possible to avoid causing problems for those who have a green light/green light.
Driving on roads with different topography
▶ Be careful while driving on difficult terrain and road conditions.
▶ Before starting a trip, drivers should have enough information about the road conditions, the topography of the road may be curves, narrow bridges, rough roads, etc.
▶ Driving actively on curvy roads at low speed and always keeping the right lane.
▶ Avoid accidents by driving slowly on narrow bridges, overtaking properly, going up and down heavy gears on steep and hilly roads, and not trying to overtake in places with poor visibility.
▶ Types of roads may be asphalt, cobblestone, etc. Depending on the type of roads, different driving strategies should be followed.
▶ Driving above the speed limit on any road increases the risk of accidents, so drivers should drive within the speed limit of the road.
▶ It is necessary to protect the safety of the motorcycle by slowing down on dusty and dusty roads, and to avoid the risk of the vehicle sliding and overturning by not holding the brakes of the speeding vehicle.
About stopping a motorcycle
▶ Any motorcyclist shall not park his vehicle on any road unless he takes the necessary precautions so that the motorcycle does not move from the parked place in his absence.
▶ No motorcycle rider shall leave the vehicle without turning off the engine, locking the ignition, removing the ignition key, and securing the motorcycle immobilizer.
▶ When parking the vehicle on a downhill road, the front foot of the vehicle must be moved back to the nearest edge of the road.
Compliance with fuel regulations
Before the motorcycle rider starts the engine
▶ Keep both feet straight
▶ Wear motorcycle clothing, helmet
▶ Place at least one hand on the armrest
▶ Resting both toes on the pedal while the motorcycle is riding
Hat
A motorcycle rider can reduce the risk of head injuries during an accident by wearing a safe helmet.
❖ Pre-trip inspection for motorcycles
▶ The first source of information on how to inspect and maintain a motorcycle is the factory manual. So the following sections should be checked according to the manual.
▶ Checking tires and wheels
▶ Check the tire pressure
▶ Check that the tire teeth are not worn and the general condition
▶ Check that the front and rear brakes are working properly.
▶ Checking that both work properly and stop the motorcycle in a short distance when the full brake is applied.
❖ Inspection of control devices
▶ Make sure that the friction and the fuel supply are working properly
▶ The fuel dispenser must be fully closed quickly when emptying.

▶ Step three: - Release the fuel by gently releasing the friction.
❖ Three steps we use when changing gear from light to heavy
▶ Step one: Suppress the friction by releasing the fuel tank
▶ Step two: Pushing the gear shaft down to the desired gear
▶ Step three: - Release the fuel by gently releasing the friction.
❖ Use of brakes
▶ Improper braking is one of the main causes of many motorcycle accidents and collisions.
▶ Therefore, motorcyclists are required to develop their braking skills.
❖ Motorcycles have two brake controls.
They are:
1. Front wheel control brake and
2. They are the brake that controls the rear wheel.
▶ When deciding to slow down or stop, we must use both brakes properly.
▶ The front wheel brake has 75% or three-quarters (3/4) braking capacity.
▶ The rear wheel brake is capable of holding 25% or one quarter (1/4) brake.
▶ The brake that allows us to control the front tire is more powerful than the rear one and it directs more than 75% of the energy needed to stop the motorcycle.
❖ Linked brake system
▶ Some motorcycles have a braking system that works by putting the front and rear wheels together, which means that both wheels receive braking power when the rider applies the front or rear brakes.
❖ Care should be taken on turning roads
▶ Drivers must turn at high speed.
▶ Because when we try to turn at high speed, we may go out of line and collide with another vehicle or go over the edge of the road and have the risk of overturning.
▶ Therefore, before entering into this kind of unnecessary danger, we must remember and apply the following point when we reach the turning roads.
▶ Four points that help to properly control the motorcycle on the bends
1. Slow down: When you reach a turn, slow down by letting off the gas and keeping the brake pointed.
2. Looking left and right: Before turning, looking in the direction you are turning.
3. Turning the steering wheel in the direction
you want to turn:- ▶ If we are turning left, press the part of the steering wheel where our left hand rests to the left, turn the motorcycle to the left and turn to the left.
▶ If we are turning right, press the right steering wheel to the right, turn the motorcycle to the right, turn right.
4. Giving fuel: After making sure that the motorcycle is turning, giving it fuel and increasing the speed will make the movement of the motorcycle uneven.
Using hand signals
❖ A motorcyclist must signal to another person or road user when stopping, starting, changing lanes, overtaking, and crossing the road using hand signals.
No driving at night
❖ Among the most dangerous reasons for riding a motorcycle at night are hitting animals on the road, missing curves, and not seeing the road. If the headlight is less than 50 meters away, the driver should not drive at all.
▶ Driving with the left side of the road
▶ On a non-twin road, every driver must drive with the left edge. Therefore, a motorcycle rider, unlike other motorists, must drive carefully by keeping the left side of the road at all times unless forced to do so.
Wear reflective clothing
❖ A motorcycle rider can be easily seen by other road users by using reflective colored clothing and wearing a reflective helmet to protect himself and others from accidents.
❖ Controlling situations related to accidents
❖ A driver must be able to protect himself from dangerous situations.
❖ Cycling, like any other profession, is a profession where good qualities need to be developed and unnecessary qualities need to be removed.
❖ Drivers must preemptively control risk-related situations.
❖ Among them
▶ Waves
▶ Unnecessary selfishness
▶ Being emotional
▶ Instability
▶ Negligence
▶ Trying to attract attention
▶ Forgetting responsibility
▶ Addiction and the like.
▶ Drivers who exhibit these undesirable behaviors put themselves and the driver at risk.
▶ Therefore, the following and other good behaviors should be practiced to control risk-related behavior.
Driving without drinking alcohol
▶ Alcohol has a depressing effect on the central nervous system.
▶ Alcohol spreads rapidly in our blood and disrupts the normal functioning of our brain and affects our ability to make decisions.
▶ Alcohol reduces the driver's ability to concentrate and make decisions, causing traffic accidents.
▶ Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the main causes of traffic accidents, and drivers should reduce the risk of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Don't drive while distracted
❖ In the process of driving, the driver should not drive under the influence of disturbed emotions, a behavior that helps to reduce the risk to others. Driving in anger, impatience and not paying attention, driving in a similar mood, driving in fear, driving in stress, inattentiveness while driving, picking up loose objects, etc.
Driving under the influence of drugs
❖ A driver should not drive under the influence of drugs as it affects the normal thinking and decision-making process and leads to normal driving behavior.
