The incident involved a man riding a motorcycle with a gas cylinder, closely following the vehicle in front. When the lead vehicle braked suddenly, the motorcyclist could not react in time, swerving abruptly to avoid it. This caused the motorcycle to lose balance, spin sideways, and fall onto the road. The gas cylinder flew off the motorcycle and rolled onto the street. The event unfolded directly in front of an oncoming car, forcing its driver to brake sharply to avoid a collision.
This traffic incident highlights the critical need for all road users to maintain focus, observe their surroundings, and keep a safe distance from vehicles ahead to anticipate potential situations. Tailgating severely restricts a driver's visibility and reduces reaction time when sudden braking is required, potentially leading to skidding and loss of control.
