DANGERS OF BEING UNTRAINED IN MOTORCYCLES...



Motorcycles are said to be the best mode of transportation because you can easily beat up traffic and it is in fact the most affordable type of motorized transport. Lately, there have been an increased in the number of motorcycle users here in the Philippines but noticeably have a higher rate of fatal accidents than automobile. Watch the news everyday and surely there would be reports regarding an accident involving a motorcycle. You would probably hear comments whenever accidents happens that it is a pure mishap and nobody wants it. Nope! accidents won't  happen without a cause. Haven't you noticed that the common cause of motorcycle accident is that when the motorist pulls-out or sometimes a motorcycle suddenly turns in front of an automobile and there are also riders who violates the right of way, where they always counter flows to avoid a long line of traffic. I am not against motorcycle riders but what I am pointing out here is the increase number of moto-riders that are untrained and those who are drunk driving. A rider must have a proper training right after they have purchased a new bike. Why not take a safety course first, this is for your own sake. Remember that most people are used to seeing larger moving objects in the streets. Take time to hone your skills. I was really thankful to see that local governments have their campaigns that gives warning to motorcycle riders.





I opt not to put some shocking videos or pictures here for the sake of my minor readers but i found this video from youtube that for me has a given a clear message of the dangers of being an untrained owner of a motorcycle.
