Every year, the Easter holiday attracts thousands of travelers to the roads. In Paraná, the main destination is the interior of the state, according to the expected movement at the Curitiba bus station. The forecast indicates that 40% of trips will have this region as their arrival point.
However, it is essential to be even more attentive when driving or riding, due to the increased probability of accidents due to the large volume of vehicles circulating during this period. During the 2023 long holiday, the Paraná Military Police recorded 58 accidents, resulting in 16 deaths and 81 injuries.
To avoid tragedies and ensure that the moment of leisure and rest does not turn into a headache, the regional manager of Honda Blokton, Antônio Marcos Grigonis, reinforces some precautions that can be taken.
“Defensive driving must be prioritized and an important point in the case of medium and long journeys is regular rest stops. Only these breaks can restore the ideal conditions of concentration and reflexes for those who are driving.”
highlights Antônio Marcos.
Still regarding the driver’s conduct, Grigonis comments that it is necessary to remain calm and avoid carrying out risky maneuvers if a turn is missed on the highway. Furthermore, he states that it is necessary to remain alert to the entire scenario, as other people may adopt this reckless idea.
The presence of oil, sand and objects on the road can become a significant problem, resulting in skidding and even falls for motorcyclists. The Londrina regional manager recommends that, when you see objects on the road or notice a more slippery pavement, the speed be reduced immediately.
“In situations where a fall is inevitable, it is advisable to move the motorcycle to the side of the road, in order to avoid being run over and more serious accidents”
highlights.
To prevent the motorcycle from falling, Grigonis also advises a balanced distribution of the luggage compartment contents, observing the maximum load limit stipulated in the owner’s manual. And, in addition to defensive driving, another professional tip is to keep your motorcycle or car inspected up to date.
“It is necessary to pay attention to some items that must be checked, such as lighting, arrows, tires, brakes, gearbox kit, oil and fluid levels, among others”
