On 26th October, 2023 as I was going to my workplace, I came across a Dad with his daughter (around 3-4 years) riding on a Scooty. I was alarmed, as soon as I saw the young girl falling asleep who was sitting on a Scooty, so with concern, I gave a horned from my car and told the Dad that the young girl is sleeping. I even used my hand gestures to make sure he understands what I'm trying to say. I assume, the young girl was coming back from School and was tired, as seen she was in School uniform. Later, Dad woke her up.
Through this, I want to request all the parents to please avoid carrying young Kids alone, on two wheelers especially below 10 Years (front side is somehow okay, if no alternative) and on the backseat if some elders are also sitting along with the kids then it should be okay but carrying kids alone on the backseat is very dangerous.
Most of the two wheelers drivers ride Zig-zag, so it is very dangerous to carry kids alone on the backseat, as they don't have enough strength to hold.
It also reminded me of the Unfortunate Accident that had happened near clock tower, Dimapur where a 3 Year old died in a tragic accident in 2019.
Please, take care of your Children or younger siblings and always take proper safety precautions.
DO NOT PUT YOUR DEAR ONES AT RISK.
