What should you do if you are about to be hit from behind?

When you are about to be hit from behind while riding a motorcycle, the best action to take is to hold your motorcycle steady and prepare for impact. This approach helps maintain control of the bike and allows you to brace for the collision, which can minimize the potential for injury and keep you upright.

Maintaining your position helps you avoid unpredictable movements that could lead to losing control, which might happen if you panic and accelerate or switch lanes suddenly. Additionally, laying the motorcycle down may seem like an option, but it typically increases the risk of injury and could make the situation worse. By staying steady, you can better manage the situation as it unfolds, potentially reducing the severity of the impact.
