This is a common problem. Grandparents are concerned for your safety and should be respected. There is much you can do to show them you know safety is very serious. Read carefully the laws for motor bikes in your town and province. You must follow the laws. Your motor must have the correct lights, mirrors, and strong brakes. Your motor and your clothing should be visible colors, not black. Personal protective equipment: a strong helmet, safety glasses, gloves, sturdy boots, and clothing that does not rip easy. Some may not agree but I recommend a lap belt from a car to keep from being hurled over the handlebars in a collision. Check a local library for books on riding skills. YouTube may have videos on safe riding. Select streets and roads that have less traffic and open space along the sides. Always be alert and well rested when you ride. I pray for the safety of animals and other drivers.
