When overtaking, you should have a good judgment of your own speed, distance, and acceleration. Most motorcycle crashes happen because riders often have poor judgment of their own vehicle and the vehicle they are trying to overtake. You must have a good knowledge of your motorcycle, how it reacts to acceleration, and the braking system.
