There are endless booklets, Videos online, and advanced training options on how to be a successful motorbike rider, you even have to take a test before you are allowed free on the open road. Yet there is no such thing as a pillion. With no instruction, experience, or preparation, practically anyone can put a helmet on and ride on the back of a bike. Sometimes, the effect will be mayhem and causing the rider great difficulties.

Here are valuable tips about how to be a safe pillion co-rider:

 

Unnecessary Moving is unnecessary

A motorcycle rides on two wheels and is thus susceptible to any unnecessary adjustment in the distribution of weight. Maintaining a two wheeler's equilibrium is not only the duty of the rider but also of the pillion. Moving unnecessarily can disbalance a bike, and it could also distract the passenger, even though it doesn't it can distract the rider.

If you're nervous for whatever reason and you have to move, the main thing seems to be to always express this to the rider.

 

Be conscious of the position/movement of the rider's body

You have to be intact with the rider while he travels from side to side when riding a motorcycle as a pillion. Although you don't have to shift as far as the rider himself, you just have to synchronize the body position/movement. When the rider swings or leans his upper body to the left, for instance, when making a left turn, follow his body just enough to maintain the optimal overall balance.

 

Catch the rider round his waist

If you have to hold the rider, wrap your arms around his waist to make sure you don't hold tight enough to make the rider nervous. Conversely, if it is a long and nice journey, you can also kindly grip the waist on both sides.

Do NOT keep your hands on their shoulders as it will limit the rider's free body motion.

 

Look where you're going

There should still be a pillion looking forwards and where the bike goes. The passenger can aim to position their head a little laterally, allowing them to see the terrain and part of the path ahead. In doing so, they avoid their helmet from producing a sequence of air turbulence that can arrive directly at the helmet of the rider which assures that there are no frequent blows in braking and acceleration between pillion and rider helmets. In addition, this location would cause the pillion to be mindful of unexpected incidents or turns in the road that can occur. If the pillion knows what is happening or about to happen ahead, a journey will still be easier.

 

Stop putting the bodyweight on the rider

Don't rest on the rider's back. Even, stop having the bodyweight on the bike when the rider stops. Many of most motorcycles come with rear grab rails so they can be carried by the pillion whenever desired. It will help you to avoid placing undue weight on the rider by retaining them, particularly in the case of hard braking (when the vehicle loses momentum quickly moving the pillion forward).

Do Not Fall Asleep

No matter how apparent this is, when riding as a pillion, do not ever doze off. If the pillion wants to fall asleep, nothing can be more dangerous for the pillion and the passenger.

If you're too exhausted to ride a motorcycle, so completely stop going on a motorcycle. Nevertheless, let the rider know specifically that you are exhausted so that he understands. This doesn't mean that after allowing the rider to know, you can sleep away from the back!

Keep periodically chatting to the passenger so you can distract yourself from the sleepiness. Often, by constantly looking about, keep your attention on the road. Lastly, before the trip, have a cup of coffee if it keeps you awake.

 

Do Not Drink Because You Are Just a Pillion 

Note, as a passenger with a seat belt on, you are not seated in a cab. Do not drink on a motorcycle or on any two-wheeler, even though you are not operating. It weakens the senses and is harder to fight against than to fight tiredness in all respects.

Whenever the need emerges, we hope these pointers will help us all become better pillion riders. A strong pillion will make a trip worthwhile, as we said earlier.

WHY IS GAMING MOUSE BETTER THAN NORMAL MOUSE?

In this Covid world, working from home has become our only way to survive. We obviously need the money and for that, we have to work. With growing cases of covid-19 there is no way we can go to the office and maintain the daily misery for money. We can't chant “Monday sucks” anymore. A supreme shift in our work culture has been established. We can say that ‘work from home’ is our new normal and is going to be for a long long time.  

With home becoming the new workplace, a strong, stable, and secure internet connection is an extreme necessity. There is a recent surge in the request, even from large organizations to build a robust Work-from-Home IT policy that can take care of the protection of sensitive data on an employee device, while he/she is working from home. But how safe is it? Is it safe enough not to expose your sensitive information? 

Here are a few methods that can keep your sensitive data and preying hackers off of your confidential information: 

 
Secure your router 

Most users leave their router to default which gives hackers the power. To secure your router you must change the router's default name and pre-set passwords. To protect against the newly discovered remote vulnerabilities of UPnP, consider disabling this service on your router. You can also log out as administrator, to diminish the risk of someone tailgating your session to gain control of your device. And of course, remember to keep your router software updated. 

Network encryption

 

Network encryption is a network security process that applies crypto services at the network transfer layer - above the data link level, but below the application level. Depending on your router, you might have options for different kinds of encryption. To keep out interloper, it's essential to use some variant of WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protection, either WPA or the newer WPA2 standard. The WPA2 is currently the most secure and most recent form of encryption available for home but if you want extra security you can use Advanced Encryption Standard like the one used by the government to secure classified information.  

Virtual private network (VPN) 

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks. VPNs cannot make online connections completely anonymous, but they can usually increase privacy and security. VPN can mask your internet protocol (IP) address so your online actions are virtually untraceable. It is recommended to use a VPN while dealing with confidential data.

Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure. What to do and where to go are important things.

 

First of all :

Before giving trail practice at local learning centers. Be confident in yourself.

Visit the office or fill the form online:

Applicants may file a request online and verify the date of the written review. If the application has been submitted, the method shall have a specific reference number and other necessary information, which shall be drawn upon the date specified by the Transport Management Office when sitting for the written review.

You can submit the online form from this link below: 

http://www.dotm.gov.np/

This is closed for now due to the pandemic.

OR

You can get two forms at the DoTM office, just outside the premises. One is a driving license form and the other, both available for Rs 25, is a medical examination form. All forms, with all the essential data, would have to be completed and submitted for further processing at any other time as this service has been closed for the last six month due to Covid pandemic. 

 

The first step (Appear for eye test)

Meanwhile, we need to appear for a color blindness eye examination where 4-5 cards with dotted colored numbers will be revealed to us. The number written on the cards, we need to say.

We go to counter number 7 to pay the Rajaswa until the eye test is confirmed.

The second step (Appear for the written test)

On the day of the written test, early in the morning at 6:00 a.m reach Yatayat Karyalaya (may change due to corona). Questions like basic riding, traffic rules, things to do in an emergency may be asked. You can prepare these questions through applications found in the apple store or android store. The results will be published on the same day. If you pass the writing test, you need to arrive at your next trial that is trying the next day.

The third step (Give the trail)

So this is the main course of the food. The one that you practiced to earn the license. The trial involves the following :

• An 8 path that needs to be crossed without touching the outskirts.

• Once 8 is completed a straight lane comes and you need to climb on.

• A small mistake can cost your license so, always look for traffic lights, when it turns green take a left turn using the left side light

• You will reach a slope that you need to stop and control your bike with only your one leg on the ground.

• After completing the “ukalo and oralo ” finally slowly you should pass the speed breaker in order to complete the trail.

If you pass, you will be declared right away. The policeman on duty will hand you the card signed. After 7 days, you need to visit Yatayat Karyala and go to room 2 to pay Nrs. 1500 Rajaswa. However, if you fail, you have the allowance to appear for the trial three times within 90 days if you have passed the written test.

Fourth step( Collect your driving license)

After a period of 30 days, you can re-visit the Yatayat Karyalaya to receive your Smart Driving License Card.

Make sure, you practice enough in driving training centers and do not ignore any part of the standard design. Read the driving book and get all your documents ready. 

You will be told when your license can be issued. You briefly get a slip before your smart driving license card is ready to qualify you for driving. You can drive with the slip, so when it gets loaded, you must keep the slip secure for you to retrieve yours.

Due to rain or loosened buttons, ignition switches get stuck several times. It is recommended to use dry lubrication instead of having it patched with wet lubricants like lubricating oil. The explanation is that at that point in time, wet lubrication will resolve the issue but provide long-term demerits. The dirt and dust that could fill up in your ignition switch are attracted by wet lubricants and you will finally be left with no choice but to repair the system.

Today, in this post, we offer you easy advice about how to recover the motion of the ignition switch on your motorcycle.

The instructions are here:

1. Take a cutter and a pencil.

2. Near the ignition switch, take the pencil in such a way that the tip is held just above the switch's opening.

3. Rub the graphite portion of the pencil gently with the aid of a cutter, so that the powdered graphite slides straight through the ignition switch.

4. For some time, repeat this until you know that a reasonable amount of material has come through the crack.

 

Alternate procedure:

1. Label any lines on your key with a pencil in case you don't want to do the above process.

2. Making these lines darker by repeated pencil activity on the key.

 

Alternate procedure:

Try spraying WD-40 into the ignition lock a little bit. A thin straw that can fit (or nearly fit) into the gap between your key and the ignition lock should come with the can. Often, by softly wiggling it, this additional lubrication would be enough to allow the key to be removed.
