Speeding is dangerous, especially at night or in areas with low visibility. By following road safety rules and spreading awareness, we can reduce such accidents and protect lives.

Important tips for safe travel
This tragic accident reminds us of the importance of exercising utmost caution while driving. Several basic steps can ensure safety and create a safer environment for everyone on the road. Here are some important suggestions:
- Avoid speeding: Speeding is a major cause of accidents. Control speed, especially at night or in congested areas. Adhere to speed limits and adjust speed according to road conditions.
- Wear a helmet: Wearing a helmet while riding a bike is paramount. It protects your head from serious injuries and is crucial for survival in accidents. Always wear a helmet, regardless of distance.
