Two-wheeled transport is cheaper, more mobile, and more thrilling than cars. However, the danger of two-wheeled transport lies in the low level of protection for the driver and passenger, the high risk of injury in the event of an accident, and its lower visibility on the road compared to other vehicles. The Kyiv patrol police gave advice to bike enthusiasts on how to make their two-wheeled journey safe, reports UNN.

For a safe journey on two-wheeled transport:
- before setting off, check the technical condition of the vehicle, including the brakes, sound, and light signaling;
