Then, as a result of sudden braking, the rider turned the vehicle over. Unfortunately, despite the resuscitation, the 48-year-old died due to injuries. Police officers explain the exact causes and circumstances of this tragic accident,” says Barbara Poznańska, a spokeswoman for the Poviat Police Headquarters in Myszków.
Police officers appeal to all users of the traffic:
“Spring is fast approaching with better road conditions, but it does not absolve us from caution!”
Damage to asphalt, to the sand on the road and increased traffic, is a potential threat to motorcyclists. Just a moment of inattention, a sharp maneuver and a dump truck on a single track are certain. A motorcyclist is usually a young man. Young people are often characterized by bravado or the desire to show off their peers. These behaviors very often go hand in hand with the lack of driving skills. It often happens that the driver of his fast and heavy vehicle is not able to control it, and then it is not unfortunate. Recall that such a vehicle does not have either belts or airbags. The collision of a motorcyclist with another vehicle or tree usually ends tragically.
According to policemen, the most common cause of accidents involving motorcyclists is, among others, excessive speed and overestimation of your skills, passing through a red light, squeezing in between cars and, finally, just showing off.
Motorcyclist, remember that public roads are not race tracks! So think about other drivers. Follow traffic rules: do not exceed speed; do not enforce priority; show limited trust in other drivers; Take care of reflective clothing or reflective vest that will make you more visible on the road.
We appeal to all managers who are cautious and comply with the rules. Every participant of the road traffic must keep in mind the safety of both himself and others. Remember that in the case of even the smallest collision of a motorcycle and a car, the motorcyclist has the slightest chance of surviving or leaving the accident without injury. “
