Safety Precautions
It is only the driver that can ensure the safety of travel.
A safety-minded scooter driver always spends much time learning how to drive and
develop his driving skills in a place where traffic is not so busy before he begins to
drive on a public road.
1. A great many of scooter accidents are caused by the failure of the car driver to
see the scooter driver. The scooter driver should use every means to make himself
clearly seen by the car driver. He can do this, for example, by:
•
Wearing colourful and eye-catching clothes
•
Avoiding the blind spot to traffic and driving without any mental alertness
2. Many scooter accidents happen at the intersection of roads, entrance to a
parking lot and on a carriage way. Therefore be extremely careful when driving
through these areas.
3. High-speed driving is a major cause for scooter accidents. Always observe the
speed limit and never drive in excess of it.
4. Many scooter accidents are caused by inexperienced drivers. Those who have
just learnt how to drive a scooter should be thoroughly familiarized with the
performance of the vehicle before driving on a public road. Never lend your vehicle
to anyone who is inexperienced in driving.
