Title: Failure to hold the handlebars: a little-known traffic violation
In the hustle and bustle of road traffic, a seemingly insignificant detail can have serious consequences: failure to hold the handlebars. This violation, often overlooked and overlooked, is nevertheless very real and can lead to risks to road safety. In the province of Kasai Oriental, the commander of the Traffic Police reminded people during a recent parade of the importance of this aspect, which is often ignored by drivers.
The simple act of not holding the handlebars of your vehicle firmly can have serious consequences. According to Article 33 of the new Highway Code, failure to hold the handlebars is indeed a traffic violation. This is an essential measure to ensure control of your vehicle and therefore the safety of drivers, passengers and other road users.
In addition to this violation, other violations were noted by Commander Mukuna, including dragging obstructive or dangerous objects on the road. Indeed, leaving cans, drums or any other object lying around can obstruct traffic and constitutes an offence. Similarly, having your vehicle towed without the prior agreement of qualified officers can also pose safety issues.
It is essential to raise awareness among drivers of these basic rules to avoid unnecessary accidents. Simply holding your handlebars correctly can make all the difference on the road, by allowing better reaction times in the event of danger and ensuring safer driving for everyone.
Ultimately, respecting traffic rules, however seemingly minor they may be, is essential to ensuring the safety of everyone on our roads. By becoming aware of the importance of simple actions such as holding the handlebars, each driver contributes to making traffic flow more smoothly and safer. Let’s not forget that road safety is everyone’s business, and that every little action counts in preventing accidents.
Ultimately, it is essential to take these often neglected aspects of road safety into account to promote responsible driving and harmonious coexistence on our roads. Let’s be vigilant, respect the rules and hold the handlebars firmly, for a safer and more peaceful journey for all.
