Whenever one speaks of go karting, a pall of silence falls, then someone shouts from the back " isn't it dangerous". "Didn't someone die in Malaysia", adds another. There are some simple defensive tactics that you can adopt. No one wants to get hurt or at the least, no one wants to pay for costly replacement of parts.
1) Avoid bumper cars. Cars with crash protection, like fun karts are likely to contain inexperienced drivers.
2) Maintain a safety distance. Imagine space as a safety buffer. If you give others space, you can minimize your chances of crashing because you'll both have more time to react.
3) Stay far from inexperienced drivers. You can judge this from their attire. They may be inexperienced or presume that go karting is like bumper cars.
4) Stay especially far away from children who may not understand the dangers of a crash.
5) Take the inside corners of turns so people can't clip you from behind.
6) Don't let people get directly in front of you; they may stop unexpectedly, causing you to crash in the back of them. Similiarly, don;t tailgate.
7) Move to the side to avoid crashes if they get directly in front of you. Stop for awhile if that's the only way to give yourself more room.
8) Warn the operator of the ride if someone is giving you an especially hard time.
