Just as you would do in a car, when merging with traffic, don’t simply rely on your mirrors to view traffic behind you – do a quick head check to make sure there’s room for you. Use this to your advantage to get up to speed with highway traffic and merge with surrounding cars as quickly as possible. Being on most motorcycles gives you the benefit of being able to accelerate faster than nearly any car around you. The obvious first step for riding on the highway is entering the highway. Before you go tackling the freeway with confidence, here are a few tips we’ve gathered over the years for how to ride on the highway safely. In fact, highway riding is probably safer than scrambling around on surface roads, since everybody’s going the same direction at more or less the same speed, and, critically, there’s no cross traffic to dodge. The higher speeds and sea of cars around you can seem intimidating, but riding on the highway doesn’t have to be scary. For many new riders, the thought of riding on the highway for the first time can be frightening – right up there with public speaking and bungee jumping.
