• Avoid zigzagging between cars and always try to walk in a straight line; If you drive in extreme right or left lanes, take into account that if a car turns around, it probably has not seen you and will block your way.
• Read the regulations. There are traffic laws for motorcycles. By knowing them, you will know what you can and can not do; In addition, you will be prepared in case some policeman wants to be ready.
