Road Safety

Your Safety is Our Priority

At A.B Motorbike Koh Samui, we’re committed to ensuring your safety and enjoyment as you explore our beautiful island. As road safety is a critical concern in Thailand, we want to equip you with essential information and guidelines to make your motorbike adventure safe and memorable.

Understanding Road Safety in Thailand

Thailand, unfortunately, has one of the highest road traffic fatality rates in Asia. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable, and those aged 15-29 are most frequently affected by road accidents.

Safety Tips for A.B Motorbike Renters

  1. Always Wear a Helmet: We provide helmets with every rental, and it’s crucial to wear them at all times, no matter how short the distance. Helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injuries in case of an accident.

  2. Respect Speed Limits: Familiarize yourself with the local speed limits and adhere to them strictly. Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents.

  3. Drive Defensively: Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate potential hazards. Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and be prepared for unexpected actions by other drivers.

  4. Avoid Distracted Driving: Never use your mobile phone while driving. Keep your focus on the road and avoid any distractions that could compromise your safety.

  5. Be Mindful of Road Conditions: Koh Samui’s roads can vary in condition, with some areas having uneven surfaces or potholes. Exercise caution, especially when navigating unfamiliar routes.

  6. Stay Sober: Alcohol and drugs significantly impair judgment and reaction time. Never drink and drive – it’s not worth risking your life or the lives of others.

  7. Follow Traffic Laws: Observe traffic signals, signs, and road markings. Be considerate of pedestrians and other road users.

  8. Pre-Ride Inspection: Before you set off, take a moment to inspect the motorbike. Check the tires, brakes, lights, and signals to ensure everything is in working order.

  9. Emergency Contact: Save our contact number in your phone in case you need assistance or experience any issues with the motorbike.

  10. Enjoy the Ride Responsibly: Koh Samui offers breathtaking scenery and exciting adventures. Remember to ride responsibly, prioritize safety, and create unforgettable memories.
