Show Eye protection overlooked for motorcyclists safety Many motorcyclists overlook an important im-portant piece of their safety wardrobe eye protection when they dress to ride. In order to ride safely, you must be able to see clearly. A bug or small rock flying into your face can distract or injure in-jure you. In an automobile, the windshield wind-shield protects the driver's eyes from wind, rain, and flying bugs or rocks. On a motorcycle a face shield or pair of goggles serves the same function. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation suggests your face shield or goggles should be: -Free from scratches and shatterproof shatter-proof (bearing the Z2.1 or VESC 8stan- dard in the upper right hand corner). Scratches on eye protection are particularly par-ticularly dangerous at night because they reflect the glare of streetlights and oncoming headlights. -Securely fastened so they won't blow off., ., .. -, -Constructed to protect the eyes from dirt, bugs, dust, water, and other foreign objects. Regular sunglasses do not provide proper eye protection on a motorcycle. -Well-ventilated to prevent fogging that can distort vision. Equipped with clear lenses if used at night. After dark, tinted lenses can reduce vision significantly. |
