2 Request for traffic safety
(1) In the summer, about 50% of the accidents are dozing and looking aside! Especially on holidays, about 1.6 times that of spring!
About 50% of the accidents that occurred in the summer (July-August) of last year (2018) were caused by "sleeping and looking aside."
Furthermore, during the summer holidays, which is the leisure season, the number of accidents due to "drowning / looking aside" will increase (about 1.6 times) compared to spring, probably because of the increase in driving and long-distance driving for those who are not familiar with cars.
When driving on the Expressway, it is a good idea to take a rest at least once every two hours with SA / PA, even if you don't realize that you are tired.
(2) A bike that feels good in summer. But I'm easily tired. Take frequent breaks with SA / PA!
Driving a motorcycle is subject to wind resistance in the same posture for a long time and is therefore more prone to fatigue than driving a car.
Riders should take frequent breaks especially in SA / PA.
(3) Summer when drinking and drinking are high in leisure and sightseeing. Don't ride if you drink, don't drink if you ride!
In summer, it is expected that there will be many opportunities to drink alcohol on the go, such as leisure and sightseeing. In order to prevent the tragic accidents caused by drunk driving, it is recommended that those who drive will also stop driving if the driver is drinking, and work together with the driver to eradicate drunk driving.
