Colombian motorcycle outlet De Motos Colombia rounds up ten dangerous riding habits that commonly lead to crashes, from passing on the blind side and following too closely to phone use, speeding for conditions, and overconfidence — calling for a more defensive mindset behind the handlebars.
Long rides are exactly when your guard tends to drop. Even when I'm just unfolding a map and cruising toward the next roadside stop, I never let my following distance or speed slip. Speed that doesn't match the road surface gets especially dangerous later in a long trip, when fatigue sets in. In the end, matching your pace to the road you're on is the real key to safe riding.

I want lists like this more often, good reminder to stay sharp.
Tire neglect... ouch. I always figured mine still had enough tread left.
So many bikes out there that really need a service, for real.
The phone-use part hit hard... gonna stop doing it even at red lights.
Thinking it's fine as long as it's just at red lights is already the problem.
Signal-only lane changes are the scariest one on this list, honestly.
Seriously, so many people just barge in without even checking mirrors.
