On a busy street, a motorcyclist, driving one-handed, unexpectedly hit a pothole. The motorcycle wobbled and then fell just as two cars approached from behind. Fortunately, the two car drivers reacted quickly, preventing an accident.

As the year draws to a close, traffic becomes heavier, and many people tend to rush. Drivers need to focus, observe, control speed, and maintain a safe distance. This vigilance helps prevent unexpected situations that can occur on the road, ensuring safety for themselves and other road users.

A common habit, especially in cold weather, is driving one-handed with the other hand in a pocket. This practice significantly hinders a driver's ability to react quickly to sudden road hazards. In this particular incident, if the driver had used both hands, it is highly likely the accident would have been avoided.
