What the Colorado Motorcycle Operator's Handbook says about being seen and lane position
Brake Light
A motorcycle's brake light is usually less noticeable than a car's, so flash it by tapping the foot brake lightly before you slow, especially when slowing more quickly than others expect, such as turning off a highway, turning into a driveway or when someone is following too closely. p. 7
Sipde
Experienced riders use SIPDE, a five-step process for making judgments and acting in traffic: Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide and Execute. Scan means searching aggressively ahead, to the sides and behind so you have the information to decide in time. p. 9
Sipde
In the Identify step, hazards fall into three groups: vehicles and other motorcycles, which may move into your path. p. 9
Sipde
Most motorcycle and car collisions happen at intersections, which can be anywhere other traffic may cross your path, so using SIPDE there is critical; be especially alert at intersections with limited visibility and in visually busy surroundings that could camouflage you. p. 9
