There's a rider here on the forum, retromike, that shared the story of his accident that nearly killed him. Aside from the well wishes towards Mike, I wanted to share 5 simple keys that might help everyone out there and hopefully keep someone from experiencing the tragedy that Mike endured.
Easy to remember with a little word association game for the first letters of the keys. All Good Kids Like Milk. I can't take credit for the tips. They're the basic fundamentals of the Smith System drivers training program. I work for a multi-billion dollar company with a very large fleet of vehicles and we adopted this program several years ago. It works and has resulted in a dramatic decrease in personal and company driving related accidents. I hope someone finds this to be useful information.
- Aim High - Know what's in your travel path 200 meters in front of you.
- Get The Big Picture - Be situationally aware of eveything that's going on around you.
- Keep your eyes moving - The riding/driving conditions can change in a split second.
- Leave Yourself an Out - Don't put yourself in a position while riding, where you have no escape from danger.
- Make sure they see you - Don't put yourself in a position where another driver can't see you with their eyes or mirrors.
