  • 安全科技


    ABS、TCS，還有愈來愈多安全輔助科技，都能在不同騎乘情境下提供安全輔助，但再聰明的科技，也無法取代你的判斷。所以建立良好的防禦駕駛觀念，包括路口減速、主動停讓行人、保持安全距離，再加上車況良好的機車，才是完整的安全騎乘。



    In difficult ridingsituations, ABS, traction control, and other safety technologies are here to help you. But none of them can replace good judgement. Slow down at intersections, yield to pedestrians, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and keep your vehicle in good condition. Technology helps. You decide.

  • 雨天騎乘


    開始下雨了，騎車方法也要跟著變。雨天騎車，最重要的一個字就是：順。雨天騎車，斑馬線、道路標線、鐵板和積水，都可能比平常更滑，因此在轉彎前要先減速，碰到濕滑路面少一點急煞、急加速，也別突然閃避，才能降低打滑的風險。


     

    Exercise more caution when it is raining. Wet roads mean tires have less grip and longer stopping distances. Painted road markings, metal plates and standing water can be especially slippery. Slow down before a turn, and avoid sudden movements, braking, or accelerating. In the rain, smooth riding is safer riding.

  • 被視性與盲點


    騎車有件事很重要，那就是：你看得到其他車，不代表他看得到你。白天可開晝行燈或頭燈，並避免長時間待在汽車旁邊的視線盲點，尤其遇到大型車，視野盲點更多，轉彎內輪差也更大，記得多留點距離，讓別人早點看到你，也是在保護自己喔。



    It's important to see what's around you, but it's just as important to be seen. Just because you saw another vehicle doesn’t mean the other driver saw you. Use headlights or daytime running lights to be visible. Avoid riding in other vehicles’ blind spots. Give trucks and buses even more room. Sometimes, being seen is the simplest way to stay safe.

  • 預作煞車


    騎到路口，別再只看紅綠燈啦！


    接近路口時提前觀察，看看對向車是不是準備左轉，也注意前車會不會突然右轉，先收一點油門、做好煞車準備。

    以時速五十公里來說，如果預作煞車能省下半秒反應時間，就可能多出大約七公尺的應變距離。


     

    At an intersection, don’t just watch the light. Watch the traffic. An oncoming vehicle may turn left without signaling, or a vehicle ahead of you may suddenly turn right. Ease off the throttle and be ready to brake. At a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, reacting just half a second sooner means about seven more meters of space.

  • 防禦駕駛


    騎車上路，別只注意自己有沒有守規則。前面的車沒打方向燈，就不會轉彎嗎？


    你是綠燈，左右就一定沒車嗎？

    防禦駕駛，是預測和避開危險，千萬別把安全建立在「應該沒事」上，或是大家都會遵守交通規則，能多觀察、多預想一步，才能更早發現危險。

     

    Defensive driving means expecting the unexpected. A vehicle without a turn signal could still turn. A green light doesn’t mean you can stop paying attention. Don’t base your decisions on what other people should do. Anticipate what others might do. Stay alert, plan ahead, and be ready to react.

  • 行前檢查


    發動機車之前，先給自己三十秒，檢查輪胎、燈光、油量、煞車，四個項目，看看輪胎胎紋和胎壓、確認頭燈與方向燈，再試試煞車作動有沒有異常。安全從出發前開始，定期進行機車安全健檢，是每天平安騎乘的第一道防線。


     

    Spend just thirty seconds before every ride to give your vehicle a quick safety check-up. Check your tires, lights, oil, and brakes. Make sure everything is in good condition before you hit the road. A quick check before you leave can help reduce the risk of trouble on the road.
