Alertness

- They are not allowed to use junctions
- They cannot stop quickly
Why?
A motorcycle presents a narrow shape that is easy to overlook, and its speed is hard to judge. Rule 211 of The Highway Code says you should always look out for motorcyclists and cyclists before you emerge from a junction, as they could be approaching faster than you think.
