Brigadier Ashour pointed out the risks posed by scooters, electric scooters, and bicycles, especially when used in non-designated areas or on public roads. He emphasized that this behavior can confuse drivers, leading to dangerous situations.
Ashour also urged cyclists to follow safety measures, such as using designated lanes, wearing helmets, and avoiding riding at night or in bad weather. He also reminded cyclists to dismount at pedestrian crossings, maintain a safe distance from vehicles, and avoid carrying passengers or making significant vehicle modifications.
