Default safety tips for new riders

I just went for a ride for the first time with my son and seen him pedal thru a turn. I was surprized he made such a basic mistake. Lucky the pedal did not hit and send him flying. So I started from the idea he knows nothing about the small mistakes that we all learned the hard way. On a motorized bike those small mistakes become a big mistake fast.
These may seem so common but common sense is not common.
Here is a few things I thought he should be aware of, please add to this list

At a intersection have the pedal in the right position and pedal thru and be prepared if you kill the motor to pull in the clutch and pedal. If in doubt walk it across.
When parking bike at a store, chain it with the exhaust facing the pole, because little children want to touch stuff, and these bikes attract attention.
