In many villages, towns, and cities today, it is common to see passengers on motorcycles making calls, receiving calls, texting, or scrolling through their mobile phones while in transit.
This level of distraction can reduce situational awareness and make a person less attentive to their surroundings. When we become completely absorbed in our phones, we may fail to notice suspicious movements, unusual activities, or potential dangers along our route.
While using a phone may seem harmless, maintaining awareness of one’s environment is an important aspect of personal safety. Remaining alert while travelling enables us to observe what is happening around us and respond appropriately when necessary.
Quote: “The intelligent one can fall victim to crime, let alone one who never reasons for a second.”
A security-conscious person stays alert, remains observant, and avoids unnecessary distractions while on the move.
Just be good. Reflect. Stay alert.
