What the Idaho Motorcycle Rider’s Handbook says about SIPDE and being seen

  • Identify

    In the Identify step, hazards fall into three groups: other vehicles that may move into your path. p. 48

  • Decide

    In the Decide step a rider has three choices: adjust speed, adjust position, or communicate presence. p. 49

  • Traffic Control Signals

    Because motorcycles may not trigger traffic signals, Idaho Code lets a rider, after a complete stop, proceed with caution through a red light only if the signal fails to operate after waiting one complete cycle. p. 51

  • Clothing

    Many on-road crashes happen in daylight, and your body is half the visible surface of rider and motorcycle. p. 52

  • Signals

    Because riders are more vulnerable, turn signals matter even more on a motorcycle: use them for every lane change and turn, even when no one seems to be around. p. 53

  • Mirrors

    While what happens ahead matters most, riders can't ignore what is behind them, because traffic changes quickly; knowing what is behind helps you decide how to handle trouble ahead, and only by knowing what is all around are you fully prepared. p. 54
