Those who use
motorcycles are about the worst road offenders there are. Consequently they
constitute the largest number of road fatalities. it is not difficult to
see why. They often travel against the traffic, carry five persons instead of
the maximum of two and crash helmets are worn carelessly or not at all. Young
boys race their souped-up machines in the middle of town. They weave in and out
of traffic causing danger to everyone. Many of these young upstarts do not live
to see their next birthday. So we should ride our motorcycles with utmost care
and respect for other road-users. That way we can hope to live to see our next
birthday and the next and so on too.
In the hands of many
drivers, the car is an extension of their personality.Reckless driving can
result in unpleasant consequences. It is the cause of many accidents. Travel
along any road and we can see scores of these would-be-madmen overtaking
dangerously. Drivers of lorries and other heavy vehicles are the worst culprits.
A fully-laden timber truck trying to overtake another one not only holds up
traffic but makes it so easy for an unsuspecting oncoming car to smash into
them. Then there are army trucks that overtake you at 100 km/h while
prominently displaying their limit of 70 km/h to you. These are all accidents
waiting to happen. It is quite impossible to expect them to stop doing all
these dangerous things. On our part we should not get involved with these
danger-men on purpose. Keep as much distance as possible between you and such
people. It would be stupid to race with a lorry or an army truck, or even a
young man on a two-wheeler hoping to make an impression. It is simply stupid to
race at all.
So to minimize the
probability of being a victim of an accident certain things must be followed.
First of all, respect traffic signs and rules; never race with anybody; use
pedestrian crossings; keep away from potential dangers and finally ensure that
your vehicle, including yourself, are in good condition. Having faulty brakes
or blown lamps at night do not contribute anything to your well-being. nobody
likes broken limbs and spilled blood. Safety is very much up to you.
Summary: Motorcyclists are about
the worst road offenders there are. They constitute the largest number of road
fatalities. Reckless driving causes many accidents. Drives of lorries and other
heavy vehicles are the worst culprits. They are accidents waiting to happen.
Keep as much distance you can between you and such people. It is stupid to race
at all, whether it is with a lorry, army truck or a young man on a two-wheeler.
To minimize the probability of being a victim of an accident certain rules must
be followed. Road safety is very much up to you.
