If you find yourself with vehicles on both sides, what should you not do?

Staying where you are when vehicles are on both sides can create a dangerous situation for both you and the surrounding drivers. Remaining stationary can lead to confusion and increase the risk of an accident, as other drivers may not expect a motorcycle to be in that position.

By choosing to stay put, you might also make it difficult for other vehicles to safely navigate around you. In contrast, it is crucial to either move forward by signaling your intentions or to carefully choose a safe space to maneuver that allows for maintaining visibility and control.

For instance, if you signal your intentions clearly, it allows drivers around you to anticipate your movements, which is essential for safety. Alternatively, staying close to one of the vehicles may offer some protection from traffic, but can also make you vulnerable if the vehicle next to you suddenly changes lanes or slows down unexpectedly. Lastly, accelerating to get ahead involves quick decision-making and positioning but should be done with caution to avoid weaving through traffic.

Thus, finding a stable and strategic position is key to ensuring safety while on the road when surrounded by other vehicles.
