Always keep foot on the break. Anytime, you need this because there may be big stop due to traffic jam or you need to slow speed for crossing in small place. If you do this mistake, you can give big price of this in your accident. So, never forget it.

5. Ride Bike at 20 Km/h to 30 Km/h
Check whether your bike speed is at 20 km/h or 30 km/ hr. Never drive more than this speed limit because there are lots of turns after short distance. So, you need to slow your bike. So, it is recommended to you to keep bike at this limit only.
6. Remember While Turning
If you are turning left or right with your motorcycle, you must take defensive position on same road. If any motor vehicle is very slow, you can overtake it from right side. For this, you must check whether other motor vehicle is coming from front or not. If there are lots of vehicles in the front, then it is suggested not to overtake before crossing front coming vehicles.
