What are the penalties for riding a motorcycle in a prohibited area?
1 Answers
Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or no-entry markings will result in 3 demerit points on the driver's license. Before riding: Check the vehicle condition carefully and avoid riding a faulty motorcycle; wear a safety helmet and tight, conspicuous clothing for better control and to increase visibility to other drivers. While riding: Slow down when approaching curves to prevent skidding; shift gears and reduce speed at intersections, ensuring safety before proceeding. Always use turn signals when overtaking, ensure safety during the maneuver, and avoid tailgating the vehicle being overtaken. After parking: Secure the motorcycle properly, preferably using the center stand to reduce tire load and extend tire life; keep away from fire sources and avoid smoking near the motorcycle.
