The current Indian youngsters are irresistible about the bikes. Everywhere there are some boys who take part in illegal bike racing. A bike rider should know about the safety of pedestrians and other riders, road condition and road rules.
We know very well that all roads are not vehicle-friendly. Everywhere we see and hear the news of accidents caused due to over speed by youngsters. More young people aged between 15-29 die of road crashes. Driving a bike at high speed is one of the triumphant moment in a youngster’s life.
In many places illegal bike race is conducted. They choose weekends and the bike riders indulge in various styles, including wheeling, race and zig zag riding. They often place bets on the outcomes of the races with stakes including cash amounts and bikes.
Some people go for bike race in peak hours. The police is taking all efforts to catch these people. The parents are also advised to take care of the boys. Now the craze for 100 CC bikes is gone as 150 CC and 200 CC bikes started entering the market.
It is an astonishing fact that the parents are ready to give lakhs of money for buying bike. Many people do not know to drive international bikes. Some youngsters don’t get money to buy costly bikes. They buy local bikes and remove air filter to get high pick up, creating much noise. Then, they get the thrill to drive. Some bikes have fuel injector instead of carburetor. Because of this, the bike will run at high speed as soon as started. Some youths use octane 93 petrol for their bikes to get high speed, even though it is costly than the normal petrol. But, this is very dangerous.
The parents and youngsters should get educated about the dangers involved in riding the bike at high speed and participating in illegal races. The parents should think well before giving lakhs of money for buying bikes for their teenage children. Be safe.
