Riding Bicycles
Always obey the traffic rules for bicycles when riding. Thinking that you are safe on a bicycle and ignoring the traffic rules can lead to a major, or even fatal, accident. Although you do not need a license to ride a bicycle, if you do not obey the traffic rules, this is considered to be a traffic violation punishable (in some cases) by a fine or imprisonment.
