What the New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual says about alcohol, drugs and fatigue

  • Alcohol

    Drinking and riding is as common among motorcyclists as drinking and driving is among drivers, but riders are far more likely to be killed or badly hurt in a crash; about 2,500 motorcycles crash on New Jersey roads each year, with 60 or more deaths and nearly 2,000 injuries. p. 203

  • Alcohol

    Nearly half of all motorcycle highway deaths involve alcohol; riding takes a high degree of skill, judgment and balance, all of which alcohol limits. p. 203

  • Alcohol

    Alcohol affects vision, making it hard to see clearly and judge distance, which is hard enough on a motorcycle with normal vision. p. 203

  • Fatigue

    To limit fatigue on a trip, don't ride more than about 300 miles a day, and take frequent rests: stop, get off the motorcycle and drink some water. p. 204

  • Drugs

    If a prescription or over-the-counter drug makes you dizzy or weak, stop and wait until you feel normal; when you ride again, slow down and keep more distance than usual from other vehicles. p. 204

  • Fatigue

    Riding a motorcycle is more tiring than driving other vehicles: on road trips tiredness sets in sooner, and fatigue can hurt your control of the motorcycle much more. p. 204
