Call for Vigilance and Safety

These recent tragedies highlight the urgent need for increased vigilance and safety measures on our roads. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable due to their lack of protection, and it is imperative that both drivers and riders exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws.

Drivers should be extra attentive for motorcycles, especially at intersections and blind spots. Motorcyclists, on the other hand, should wear appropriate safety gear, including helmets, and obey speed limits and other road regulations.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims. May this serve as a reminder to all road users to prioritize safety and respect each other's space.
