Tips for riding in heavy traffic...

In heavy traffic... Try to stay out of other motorists' blind spots. Two-wheeler riders always need to assume they're invisible to everyone else. • Desist from weaving in and out of traffic. If this is done, drivers cannot predict where you're going to be next and might even get nervous and swerve into you. • Double-check the passing lane before you pass. Pass only in instances where it's legal and safe. • Remember that "white lining," or passing other motorists in their own lanes, is not recommended for beginning riders. • Always carry a cellular telephone and a roadside emergency card in case your cycle breaks down or you get into an accident. Never follow too closely behind large cars or trucks where you can't see road hazards until it's too late.
