To prevent these problems, motor vehicle drivers are requested not to use unnecessary and loud horns by following the provisions of Section 45 of the Road Transport Act 2018.

In addition, it is often observed in Dhaka metropolis that motorcycle drivers ride risks with multiple passengers, especially women and children, without using helmets and get into road accidents.

To avoid the risk of road accidents and loss of life, motorcyclists are requested to follow the provisions of Section 49 (1) Part 1 (f) of the Road Transport Act 2018 and not to carry more than two people, including the driver and to ensure that the passenger wears a helmet.
