Safety Alert - 2

Yesterday, while going to Office I saw a father taking his children to school on motor bike.

Though there were only two kids behind his back but the one at the rear was almost hanging and inclined towards right.

I Had to intervene and warn the father.

I think people must educate their staff travelling by motor bikes in their companies not to take risks and that too with children who may not be knowing the significance of balancing, even.

Starting the day earlier and Two trips are better than one trip in such cases. or may be school van would be more cheaper and safe in the end.

Motor Cycle Designers are also requested to generate inbuilt safety more.

Even those kids who are made to sit on Oil Tank of Motorbikes have no place to keep their legs so remain unsafe and uncomfortable.

The Worst is 'no attempt by the traffic police to stop, guide, coach or check on such behaviours'

These are real life problems of the developing countries.

We all have to play our part on.
