Motorcycle Misfits - The Unwanted Riders
When we are off the road, we learn to stereotype motorcycle
drivers. Some are lousy, some good, others not so good, a number
are excellent while the rest are misfits. How we wish we can get
rid of them...
It only takes one reckless driver to doom an innocent passerby
or rider. Same number can also cause significant pandemonium.
Misfits are everywhere. They cause not only heavy traffic but
overwhelming injuries and countless deaths. Let us count the
ways of how we abhor misfits...
Unlicensed minors are rampant in the streets. They drive to
impress their peers or their pretty young babes. For the sake of
being accepted, being admired, they bend the rules. Sometimes,
not contented of bending, they result to breaking them.
Reckless and unskilled riders are also a bother. You can go to
the nearest police station and for sure, you will find out that
the reports are full of reckless imprudence, some of which
result to homicide. Unskilled riders are as dangerous as the
first ones. Why? This is because if you do know what to do at a
given circumstance, chances are you will likely be mistaken. You
can not just rely on pure luck. It's different and quite
dangerous when life can be at stake.
Another group of misfits are those who are drunkard and drug
dependents. They create their own illusion and choose to dwell
on it. Self-control and rationalization - these are the
qualities they lack. Usually, they end up behind bars to suffer
their mischief. But mostly, they end up cold and lifeless in
morgues.
All sorts of law breakers - that's where all others fall - those
who are not licensed to drive, those who are not wearing the
prescribed motorcycle accessories, those who ride an unlicensed
bike and a lot more. They are bunches of misfits who are
condemned for spreading ill-fate in the streets as well as to
the society.
These persons should not be riding. They must not be allowed to
roam on the streets. This aim must be vicariously addressed.
Higher on the list are the persons concerned. If you think you
are incapacitated to ride, just press the imaginary pause button
within you. Those who are under the influence of alcohol can
just enjoy a good nap instead of strolling. Those minors can
wait for their right time. And those who are unskilled can
master the craft of riding. Practice and practice - that's the
key. If you feel like being a dare-devil, stay home and focus on
some productive things. You might end up in a totally
devastating plight.
Parents, guardians and the authorities are next in line. They
need to acknowledge the danger of having their children, ward or
subject of attention before they can appreciate prevention.
