I know hubby wants to own a motorcycle especially when driving to work during the summer, but I am always hesitant for him to own one. It is too dangerous and one of my friend's husband died because of motor accident.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with everything listed here. I can definitely attest to using a helmet. I had numerous accidents on a motorcycle but thank God nothing serious has happened to me and my dad. I wasn't wearing a helmet on my first accident. After that, I knew how important a helmet is. :-)
ReplyDeleteMotorcycle riders should take heed of this so the roads will be safer.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am scared to drive a car but for some reason, I am not scared to ride a motorcycle.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these are also implemented in the Philippines? I think these rules should be regulated world-wide. There are plenty of accidents involving motorcycle riders. Proper equipment and safe accessories must also be enforced before issuing a DL to motorcycle riders to ensure their safety and protection and other motorists and pedestrians as well when they are on the road.
ReplyDeleteMy son is dead set on buying a motorcycle. He's saving so much out of his salary so he could have enough for a down payment. Can you imagine my anxiety over this? Even if my son is a careful and responsible motorcycle driver, it is those other crazy nuts on the road that scare me to death.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. This is definitely a must in every rider. As for me, I personally consider a rider must be fully equipped and knowledgeable in this term. Technically, if you are one, you can definitely avoid and be the cause of the danger.
ReplyDeleteHubby wants to buy a motorcycle to be used for going to and from work but he's haasn't decided on what brand and model to buy.
