Pedestrians and cyclists can be difficult to see on the roads, which increases their risk of road traffic injuries, what more when their poor visibility is the cause from overloading.The human factors such as inexperienced drivers, distractions and speeding are the major culprits. But, when it comes to situations without an alternative choice, taking chances and exposing oneself to risks become inevitable.
Bicycle is the cheapest mode of transport. Bicycle is designed to cater to a certain capacity and weight. Failing to comply to such specification, it can invite accidents as well.
Let’s ask ourselves.
Do they have a choice to deliver what they are selling when they are struggling to make ends meet?
What choice he has when his livelihood is depended on his sole mode of transport to go about his work?
The load may not seem heavy but the bulk of it that impedes visibility should not be ignored. He knows better about his own safety if only he could afford!
When a bicycle is used for different purposes, the cyclist has to take responsibility to what he is carrying or transporting. When irresponsible attitude prevails, then he is courting danger along his way.
This guy has his priority wrong! He is gambling on his Lady Luck to reach his destination safely before enjoying his binge.
Motor-cyclists make no difference too. Between safety and accident, he takes his chance against the omen of disaster.
In various parts of the world, such common sight is a daily affair. The affordable transport that could serve a direct linkage to the poor farmers is impinging upon them. The only avenue that they can get connected to the mainstream economic and how they endeavour to sustain a livelihood is to take the calculated risk.
When motorized transport replaces animal-drawn carts, people tend to shift from hardship to convenience without an iota of the imposing danger to themselves.
The results of overloading can have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much weight on a vehicle will spell danger because it is difficult to drive and to stop. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep hills.
This is the life that people live and who could tell them to prioritize safety when they have to maximize what they can afford!
