Sunday, May 04, 2008

The Ministry of Transportation and Communications will ask traffic police to step up a crackdown on motorcyclists who fail to buckle their helmets. While the result of riding without buckling their helmets is high rate of death.

Few years ago, before the traffic policy of defining to riding with helmets, people riding at ease and the death rate raising up in the convinience of riding without any safty measures.
After the definite traffic policy set up, some people still don't like to buckle the helmets because it is convinience in riding. The traffic accident cause the serious effect of the motorcyclist that weared and absolutely buckled the helmet, still less the people who don't do it.

In the recent year, traffic accident cause many tragedies, people injured or died of acute trauma. To make matters worse, the people who dead in the traffic accident is your friend.

There is the case of my friend's friend died of traffic accident. The accident happened last year while we were freshmen. My friend, she went together with her college friend to ride their motorcycles to mountain at night. In the way they went to mountain, all the people were safe. Suddenly, the leader of the motorcyclist bumped against the truck. While the second motorcyclist arrived the site, the first motorcyclist had raised his head slight after the huge bump he lay on the ground. But her friend still announced fatality after send to the hospital. As passing through this terrible accident, it is incredible for my friend to trust the dead news about her college friend and she use long time to ease the sorrow. By the way, her friend had weared and buckled the helmet.

People should attention the traffic in riding whether wear the helmet or not. Because the motorcyclists expose their bodies upon the dander. We should follow the traffic rules, notice traffic, and take care ourselves in riding. Or the effect of the traffic accident is hard to redeem.
