Definitely not you say. Of course no one wants to get involved in an accident on purpose. Its painful and taxing on the pocket and also time consuming.
Then, why are you not prepared when riding your motorcycle? Prepare for what? Prepare to protect yourself in case you meet with one. At least it will minimise damage to yourself and your motorcycle. To prepare means you have to dressed for the job. Yes you need to armour yourself for the need to ride. Amouring yourself means you must equipped yourself with a helmet, a leather jacket, a leatherpants, boots and gloves.
You may laugh looking at the picture above but the reality of it is that many do not use their common sense in armouring themselves. Many riders on the road today do not believe that accidents will happen to them. It is always ‘other people’ . Why do I say that. Take a look at our riders on the road and notice that,
not using helmets, maybe there’s nothing to protect anyway.
wearing helmet but not tying up. Like jumping off a plane with a parachute but not opening it up.
tying but loose.
wearing slippers while riding
wearing T-shirt only.
wearing shorts
no jacket
no gloves
no brains, he uses a helmet so did his wife but the child is not! 3 on a bike is already illegal.
not smart. Beat the red lights
and many many more to list.
Remember that if an accident happens your amoury will help minimise injury.
What must be done?
The chance of meeting an accident and minimising injury in the event of an accident can be greatly reduced with education, practise and experience. Giving yourself ample rest when tired, hungry, hot or cold will ensure your alertness. Remember the is not guarantee that you will not meet an accident but the chance can be greatly reduced.
