This requires concentration and the driver of the 2 wheeler can be easily distracted by any sight or even with a risky bump. The distraction can directly lead to untoward incident like accident taking place. This is a major reason why the law of most of the countries makes it mandatory for every two wheeler driver to have a two wheeler insurance done.
