In California, there are at least over 800 000 registered motorcycle riders, and they are prone to crashes due to several human-made and external factors. The Cal-Department of Motor Vehicles advises motorcyclists to consider several factors before heading out on their bike.

The latter centers on bikers, ensuring that they have taken and completed a Basic Riders Course, wearing a U.S. Department of Transportation compliant helmet, and protective apparel. The headcover must have coverage for the face and eye, be fastened appropriately, and have air inlet.

The apparel covers a long-sleeved leather jacket or one with reflective materials, full-fingered gloves, long pants, and ankle-length boots. Motorcycle riding is not just for recreation; thus, bikers should familiarize themselves with their bike, and ensure they are visible when riding. Keep adequate space for passing and lane splitting, and be prepared to act should an adverse situation arise.
