Kids on Motorbikes
There are lots of motorcycles on the road. I always try my best to be more careful with I’m driving near the bikes because I know how hurt it will be to get hit by a car and fall from a motorbike. I had an accident before many years ago, and it still scares me a lot.
I know that not everyone can afford a car. Some people have to get around in motorbikes and that is very common in Malaysia. But when I see the way little kids are being carried around on motorbikes, it freaks me out. How many times have you seen little baby being held in the mother’s arms who are sitting behind the rider? She can’t even hold on to the person in front because her arms are holding the baby. How stable and secure can she be?
So, I begin to understand why my parents were against the idea of me riding on a bike. But I was too rebellious and I wanted to give it a try. An accident and some scars gave me the lesson that I needed to bid sayonara to the bikes, and I prefer to enjoy the Auto air conditioning in my car now.
