Our Top Tips for Riders

1. Winter Riding

Below are a list of top tips to consider when riding in the winter. For the full article, see above.

2. Visibility

When your visibility is reduced, you should reduce your speed

3. Mist

Use anti-misting spray on your visors, glasses and mirrors

4. Perception of Speed

In fog, rain or snow, regularly check your speedo for your actual speed as low visibility distorts your perception of speed

5. Tired Eyes

Staring into featureless mist tires the eyes very quickly so use the edge of carriageway lines, cats eyes or hazard lines to act as markers

6. Horn

Consider using your horn more when appropriate

7. Hidden Ice

Look out for places where ice patches have lingered in some areas when they have disappeared elsewhere. This can happen under tree canopies, around bridges and in valley bottoms and can cause sudden and unexpected skidding
