Wear a Helmet When Riding Bicycle!
On Saturday, April 1, 2023, a new law will be put in force. People must make efforts to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. In bicycle accidents, many people die because of injury to the head. The number of death of cyclists not wearing a helmet counts twice or more than that of those who wear it. It is important to wear a helmet to protect your head. Not only children but also adults should wear it.
When riding a bicycle, keep the traffic rules and be very careful on streets and at crossroads of bad visibility.
