Riding Every Day? These 7 Simple Habits Can Save Your Life

Riding Every Day? These 7 Simple Habits Can Save Your Life

If you ride a two-wheeler every day—to college, office, market, or even a nearby tea tapri—you might feel too familiar with the road.
And that’s exactly where danger begins.

Most riders don’t meet with accidents because they’re reckless.
They meet with accidents because they’re comfortable.

At UrbanSavari, we believe safety isn’t about fear—it’s about smart everyday habits. Here are 7 simple riding habits that can genuinely save your life.


1. Never Skip the Helmet – Even for “Just 2 Minutes”

“Bas thoda sa hi jaana hai” has cost many riders their lives.

  • Wear a ISI-certified helmet

  • Always strap it properly

  • Avoid half-helmets for daily commuting

👉 Your brain doesn’t know if the ride is 200 meters or 20 km.


2. Gloves Aren’t Style. They’re Survival Gear

In most accidents, the first body part to hit the road is your hands.

Good riding gloves:

  • Protect palms and fingers

  • Improve grip

  • Reduce fatigue on long rides

👉 Bare hands = higher risk of fractures, skin loss, and nerve damage.


3. Slow Down Near Home

Surprisingly, most accidents happen within 2–5 km of home.

Why?

  • Overconfidence

  • Distraction

  • Relaxed alertness

👉 Treat every ride like a highway ride—even your society gate road.


4. Be Visible. Always.

Many accidents happen because riders are not seen on time.

Simple fixes:

  • Use mirrors regularly

  • Wear brighter or reflective elements

  • Keep headlights ON even during the day

👉 If you can’t be seen, you can’t be saved.


5. Don’t Trust the Road Conditions

Indian roads can change overnight:

  • Potholes

  • Oil spills

  • Loose gravel

  • Sudden speed breakers

👉 Ride assuming the road will surprise you—not support you.


6. Avoid Phone Distractions at All Costs

One glance at a phone = a blind ride for 3–5 seconds.

That’s enough to:

  • Miss a signal

  • Miss a pedestrian

  • Miss a life-saving reaction

👉 No call or notification is worth a fall.


7. Ride With a Safety Mindset, Not a Rush Mindset

Most daily commuters are:

  • Late for office

  • In a hurry to reach home

  • Mentally stressed

👉 Leave 5 minutes early. Reach home safely. Every single day.
