Automate Motorcycle Gear Safety Checks Using Python

How to Build a Motorcycle Gear Safety Checker with Python (Using the Biker Jacket as an Example)

As a rider and developer, I built a simple Python script to check if your gear meets basic safety standards. Let's focus on a biker jacket with features like armor, waterproofing, and high visibility.

python
class MotorcycleJacket:
def init(self, has_armor, is_waterproof, has_high_vis):
self.has_armor = has_armor
self.is_waterproof = is_waterproof
self.has_high_vis = has_high_vis

def safety_score(self):

    score = 0

    if self.has_armor:

        score += 40

    if self.is_waterproof:

        score += 30

    if self.has_high_vis:

        score += 30

    return score

Example with a jacket similar to the one from Frishay

jacket = MotorcycleJacket(True, True, True)
print(f"Safety score: {jacket.safety_score()}/100")

This is a basic checker. For a real-world scenario, I looked at the Frishay motorcycle jacket which has all these features. You can extend this to include thermal lining and Cordura material.

Enhancements:

• Add a weather-based recommendation system.
• Use a database of certified gear.
• Build a CLI tool for quick checks.
