- Do not make motorcycle speed up more than 40 Kilometres per hour even it is empty road. During our experiment period, we observe after traffic signal motorcycle users or bikers are moving with very high speed it is more than 70 Kmph for a very short while. You may lose control and may fall on a big accident.
- Do not drive motorcycle in footpath or very near the footpath. While traffic jam, we observe so many motorcycles are moving in footpath and also near the footpath, which also cause accident. City footpath is only for those who don’t have any vehicle.
- Do not change your track most often. To avoid traffic jam and go faster and faster, some of motorcycle users openly change their track as like as snake forwarding, which cases a big accident even spot died.
- Motorcycle Ride singly or with only a pillion, do not travel full family with a single motorcycle. It is very risk in highway, any time occur mishap.
- Keep your motorcycle always fit and clean. Do not ride motorcycle, those are lack of fitness. A well fitness and cleanness rise confidence and control to the bike.
- Keep all the registration papers, driving licence and insurance paper up-to-date. This also helpful to improve your confidence level.
- Follow local traffic rules properly.
- Keep in your mind safety always first.
