Spring, sun and dry road – this is the time when you can pull out the prepared and wintered motorbike and start the season. First meters, we are accustomed to a machine, newly purchased with a helmet or a suit. It is already better to go a few kilometers; we are going slowly enjoying the wind and the first tear drop from the eye with the helmet open. This calm ride for some wheelchair drivers will take several days or even the first meeting with buddies and a common rapping on a spring afternoon.
The statistics that have improved noticeably from year to year do not entitle us to rest on their laurels and do nothing to improve them. Donor unfortunately killed 12 drivers of motorcycles who do not wear safety vest, and 157 people were injured. 16 bikers died and 279 injured. The mopeds in 2015 were “safest” mopeds fell, killed 5 people, and 95 were injured. Police statistics / data are inexorable and cannot be deceived.
From the beginning of the current year to the beginning of April, Donor
Reported 3 deaths and 5 wounded among motorcyclists. If we talk about the less power of two-wheelers as mopeds, then among their users are 3 people injured. The circle of users of two circles is not the best among the users of the bike. Here, the victims are 9 in this one already with a mortal effect.
In this topic we can speak as traffic policemen, but also supporters of two wheelers, which in free time we also walk. Two-wheelers are not welcome on the road by other road users. Why? We do not know maybe because we do not have to stand in traffic jams, we save time and money. The lack of friendliness we experience on the streets of Wroclaw.
I do not deny motorcyclists are not saints and among them can be noted “desperate” These are mostly people on the so-called. Chasers borrowed a “roller coaster” for a while. For a moment you can go crazy to unscrew the handle to the resistance! Most often do not have a driving license, and the skills and experience better not to mention! T-shirts, shorts and flip flops are a common sight in these situations.
Maybe starting with dress, today people still see people riding in what they have. Like jeans, a reflective jacket and some gloves. After years of pain it will certainly be affected by weather changes, and ponds will remind themselves of themselves. Moreover, in the event of a crash, even if the slipper does not protect the driver dressed in this type of clothing! Investing in a decent / professional outfit – a full-season suit, even if the sun shines to 35 degrees Celsius, will certainly pay off.
Let’s also remember about fashionable, improving our safety accessories such as vests and reflective elements. Of course, our greatest influence on our safety is our behavior. So what speed will we move and where, how will we make the maneuvers, overtaking, directional changes and whether we will keep a safe distance from the preceding vehicles, and whether we take special care with all this and common sense. The four main causes of road accidents caused by two wheelers are listed here.
In summary, let us remember that we are not alone in the road, let us have a lot of respect for the others, and let us remember that we decide on many factors while driving. I hope together we will travel safely another 2016 season, in symbiosis with other participants and meet somewhere in one of the rallies and complete at the end of the season, to mention all this year’s outings with wearing reflective vest.
