Safety Tips For The Racer Enthusiast In You
Most of us have some kind of a daytime activity. Some of us are students who go to school and college. Others are employed and even more are running a business. There are things we have to do. For those who can manage some quantity of free time after all these things, we have hobbies. While the driving force for studying and working are entirely different, the motivation for hobbies is enthusiasm.
A case in point is, the hobby of
being a racing enthusiast. What motivates a person to become involved in the
various aspects of racing? Too many to list, as it turns out. One thing that
enthusiasm can inadvertently cause you to do, is to ignore safety. There are
two kind of risks. There are risks and then there are calculated risks.
Safety Is Paramount
When a machine is involved, the danger is just around the corner. As you go on about juicing up your car to give better engine performance, more speed, and suspension, you should also invest in more safety. All of these things are related. Vehicular accidents are dangerous to self as well as others.
Safety always begins with the proper
gear, particularly so in the case of two wheelers as against four wheeler. With
four wheeler, safety is relatively easy because the car’s hood will protect its
passengers. In a two wheeler, if you hit something, it is your body that is
going to strike into another object. As always, a helmet is a must for any sort
of bike riding. It is never optional but when you are riding a turbo charged
motorbike, you have to wear one.
Most of the accidents that happen on motorbikes end up becoming dangerous because of damage to the brain. Helmet protects your head from most accidents and that is reason enough to wear it, even it is not as cool as not wearing it.
Proper Driving Gear
Another important thing about driving is dehydration. While not noticeable during regular driving, people sweat a lot while they are racing at high speeds. If your gear is not designed to absorb the sweat so as to ensure proper air ventilation, you could begin to feel uncomfortable.
This feeling of being uncomfortable can distract you from your focus on driving. While speeding, a moment of disturbance is all it takes to make a mistake with the gear or the brakes or forward vision, which results in an accident. Proper gear is a must.
