Kolkata: According to the analysis carried out by the fatal squad of the Kolkata Traffic Police, at least six bikers deaths – especially those on the road that witnessed the heavy truck movement – occurred because the victim wore dark clothes at night which was not seen from a distance.
Especially during the winter when most bikers wear a dark color jacket.
Traffic police, led by southwestern traffic guards handling port and budge trucks, now hold workshops and ask for two-wheeled riders to wear clothes and bright jackets in color and look from a distance.
The first workshop was done close to the intersection of Taratala on Wednesday night where the police used CCTV recording real time and photographs to go home.
Lalbazar stated that other guards would also meet with motorists in this matter.
Police use the Kolkata traffic police page to spread their messages about the need to wear brightly colored clothes and even use neon lights on the helmet.
“While analyzing the cause of a motorcycle accident or scooter, it has been seen that in many cases the accident occurred just because the driver was not well seen by other vehicles.
A conscious camp was held at Tatasala Road on Tuesday late at night under the supervision of OC Costjist Chatterjee from the past Cross southwest to remind motorbike riders.
In addition to road safety awareness, motorcycle riders specifically given information about wearing bright colored clothes, “police said on Facebook.
DC (traffic) Arijit Sinha said The Worskshop was basically the result of the police experience and the driver on the road.
“Black or dark jackets are preferred usually.
However, as a responsible driver, I have to take all possible steps on my side to stay safe.
It’s better to be safe than regret,” Sinha said.
According to the police, the study found that motorbike riders were 37% less likely to be involved in an accident when wearing clothes that were very visible or neon.
“The most important thing is, make sure that your motorcycle teeth have a retro-reflective panel that will shine when being hit with light from your headlights, and it will be the main feature that can be distinguished to you while driving,” Police told the bikers.
