SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1984

+FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER ROAD USERS, MOTORCYCLISTS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEWLY INTRODUCED TRAFFIC LAWS. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY MUST NOT WEAR CASSETTE OR RAD 10 EARPHONES WHEN DRIVING AND THEY MUST SWITCH ON THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE IR MOTORCYCLES WHEN VISIBILITY IS POOR, EVEN IN DAYTIME,+ THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

+BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER OF A MOTORCYCLE MUST ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY HELMETS AND CONSPICUOUS CLOTHING. WHEN DRIVING ON A WET DAY, MOTORCYCLISTS SHOULD TAKE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTION AGAINST SKIDDING, HE ADDED.

APART FROM REGULAR AND PROPER MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES, THE SPOKESMAN STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF OBSERVING SPEED LIMIT RESTRICTIONS ON THE ROAD.

+MOTORCYCLISTS SHOULD REALISE THAT GOOD ROAD CRAFT IS A PREREQUISITE FOR SAFE DRIVING, AND THIS CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH PROPER TRAINING, HE SAID.
