Even if this practice annoys you, do not take action that could intercept their course and lead to an accident.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not put pressure on motorcyclists<\/strong>\u00a0by trying to reach traffic lights first. They may be forced to accelerate to move ahead and away from you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep a safe distance.<\/strong>\u00a0Always keep the proper safe distance from a motorcyclist ahead of you. He may need to dodge or apply the brakes suddenly or even, due to lack of experience, react erratically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give them the space you would give to a car.<\/strong>\u00a0When overtaking a motorcycle, leave it as much space as you would leave to a car. The driver may, at that moment, dodge to avoid potholes or irregular surfaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not overtake<\/strong>\u00a0when there is not enough space to overtake safely or when coming up to a junction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always check your mirror for motorcyclists before changing lanes or making a turn.<\/strong>Remember to check your mirror twice and to switch on your indicator lights any time you change lanes or make a turn. Remember that there is a blind spot in your mirror and you may not see a motorcycle moving towards you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check carefully every time you make a turn.<\/strong>\u00a0Especially when your field of vision is obstructed by stationary trucks or other vehicles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check at intersections.<\/strong>\u00a0Take a little more time and check carefully at intersections, since often either visibility is restricted or motorcyclists may be traveling at a high speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Motorcyclists may overtake you from both sides.<\/strong>\u00a0So check before turning either right or left.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not throw trash or cigarettes out of the windows of your car.<\/strong>\u00a0It may cause the motorcyclist to lose control, with tragic consequences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Park safely.<\/strong>\u00a0Always check for motorcyclists before opening the door of your car and make sure that all passengers do the same. When leaving a parking space, check carefully around you and remember that motorcycles are smaller and more difficult to detect than a car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[10],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Watch out for motorcyclists - Attiki Odos<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Motorcyclists are as exposed and vulnerable as pedestrians, but they are in more danger due to the speed they travel at.
