Short note Or Summary on
Safety Measures That Can Save Your Life

We hear about fatal road accidents every day. One of the causes of road accidents is over-speeding and disregard for traffic rules. But if people wear helmets while riding a motorcycle and seat belts While sitting in a car, losses of lives and disability can be avoided.
Riding a motorcycle is not without risks, especially when we are not wearing a helmet. Helmets are an important safety accessory for motorcyclists that can protect us from head injuries in the event of an accident. Police also impose fines for not doing so, but people still do not wear helmets.
Motorcycles are more prone to accidents than other vehicles because of the structure and size of the motorbike, it loses their balance easily.
Helmets minimize the risks of head injuries, the most common cause of death and disability in case of a crash. Non-helmeted motorcyclists are three times more likely to sustain head injuries in a crash as compared to those wearing firmly strapped helmets. Helmet laws are constituted to save the lives of motorbike riders. Those who abide by the laws not only save their own lives but also protect their families from unnecessary harm and suffering.
If you have ridden a motorbike, you know that this can be tough on the eyes. Moreover, extended exposure to sharp wind, strong sun rays, and dust particles can lead to major eye issues that can ultimately affect your health. The piercing cold wind not only causes discomfort but also distracts the vision.
Not wearing a helmet means increasing the risks of fatality and disability due to head injury, and harmful impact on your eyes. Don't drive anywhere until your seatbelt is fastened. If you are not wearing your seat belt, you can easily change seats and quickly slide out of the car. The car brakes will stop the car, but your body is still travelling at the speed of your car. The thing that can save you from serious injury or even death, is your seat belt.
Some people think that seat belts are not necessary. Consider what you and your family will suffer in case you are badly injured or, God forbid, you die just because you did not fasten your seat belt. Also, let us not forget the financial loss due to limitations that your injuries may impose on your earning ability, both long term and short term. The police can fine the driver, particularly on a motorway, if you and your co-traveller are not wearing the seat belt.
Wearing a seat belt does not make you invincible. But wearing seat belts minimizes your chances of getting killed or seriously injured. Seat belts save lives, and that's a fact. You can lose your life and limb, or waste your time and money, or both, by not wearing your seat belt.
