5 Road Safety Habits Every Rider Should Know

Most two-wheeler incidents come down to a handful of avoidable habits. Here are five worth building.

1. Always wear a properly fastened helmet, even for short rides — most accidents happen close to home.
2. Keep a visible distance from the vehicle ahead, especially in wet weather.
3. Use indicators well before a turn, not at the last moment.
4. Avoid checking your phone at a red light — start moving with full attention instead.
5. Get your brakes and tyres checked regularly, not just when something feels wrong.

None of these require special equipment — just consistency.
