Bali has recently been hit by heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding in several areas. These conditions can be very dangerous for motorcycle riders. If you must ride, make sure to follow these tips to stay safe on the road:
Safe Riding Tips During Heavy Rain, Strong Winds, and Flooding in Bali
1. Ensure Complete Safety Gear
✅ Wear a full raincoat set to prevent it from getting caught in the wind.
✅ Use a full-face helmet or an anti-fog visor for better visibility.
✅ Wear waterproof shoes or non-slip sandals to avoid slipping.
2. Be Cautious of Strong Winds
💨 Hold the handlebars firmly and maintain balance.
💨 Avoid riding near large trucks or buses, as sudden wind gusts can affect stability.
💨 Reduce speed to keep the bike stable when hit by crosswinds.
3. Be Careful on Flooded Roads
🌊 Do not risk riding through floods if the water is more than half the height of your wheels, as it can cause engine failure or slipping.
🌊 Choose higher ground and look for alternative routes if possible.
🌊 If you must ride through standing water, use a low gear and maintain steady throttle control to prevent the engine from stalling.
4. Avoid Areas Prone to Falling Trees & Landslides
🌲 Do not stop or take shelter under large trees, billboards, or power poles, as they may fall due to strong winds.
⛰️ Avoid roads prone to landslides, especially in hilly areas or near cliffs.
5. Turn on Your Lights & Maintain a Safe Distance
💡 Turn on your headlights even during the day to improve visibility.
🚗 Keep a greater distance from vehicles in front of you, as slippery roads can reduce braking effectiveness.
6. Stop If the Weather Becomes Too Extreme
🏠 If the rain gets heavier, the wind picks up, or the water level rises, find a safe place to take shelter.
⚠️ Do not force yourself to ride if conditions become too dangerous. Your safety is the top priority!
