The
Big 5

Speed

(see losing control) - as in riding too fast for the conditions. 0-60 in under 5 seconds or 0-eternity even faster!

Losing control

(see speed). The crash you can have all by yourself. Bikes are performing better all the time - how about you? Are you fit enough? At the end of a long ride does it get more tiring to hold the bike on track?

Overtaking or filtering in traffic

Does the other driver even know you're there? 2 wheels versus 4 (and a ton of metal) are poor odds - don't gamble!

Turning right

Whether it's you or the other driver it's a risky manoeuvre

Other drivers

Have they seen you? Do they realise how fast you're going? Are they just in your way? Do you need to understand each other more? Communicate! (In our survey over half of you thought that other drivers' behaviour was the greatest risk to riders. But fewer than 20% of the crashes on our roads were the sole result of other drivers' behaviour) .
