Too much throttle, grabbing the front brake, speeding into turns: the most common beginner scooty mistakes and how to avoid them.
Real Road Riding Checklist: What to Learn Before Kolkata Traffic
Slow-speed balance, mirrors, U-turns and safe distance: the checklist every new rider should finish before riding in Kolkata traffic.
Before you ride in Kolkata traffic, tick off these skills. If one feels shaky, practise it more on a quiet road first.
The checklist
- Slow-speed balance. Ride at 5–10 km/h in a jam without putting your feet down.
- Mirrors and indicators. Check the mirror and switch on the indicator before every turn.
- U-turn control. Turn on a narrow road in one go, without putting your feet down.
- Safe distance. Keep at least one vehicle's gap from the vehicle in front.
- Smooth braking. Rear brake first, then front, without skidding.
- Calm stops. Stop exactly at a line without panic.
