The Importance of Full Gear
REMEMBER: Whether on road or off road, safety gear is all you have to protect you in the event of a crash! Motorsports all have their own special safety gear.
YOU ARE IN CHARGE: HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
1). Take training from an ICBC-licensed school. Continue to practice safer riding skills after you graduate.
2). Wear protective gear like approved helmets, eye protection and shielded jackets and pants with leather, cordura or kevlar.
BC law require a helmet that meets at least one of the following industry safety standards:
- Snell Memorial Foundation (Snell),
- UN Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), or
- US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (DOT)
3) . Wear high-visibility clothes, including a light coloured or neon helmet with reflective tape.
The majority of multi-vehicle motorcycle crashes happen at intersections.
A white/bright helmet and reflective vest can significantly reduce the likelihood of a crash.
4) . Don’t ride a model of motorcycle that is powerful beyond your skills.
This model is similar to the one Corey died on. His bike also had after-market enhancements that further increased the performance.
5). NEVER drive with any drugs or alcohol in your system that could affect your riding.
