\u201cKlipgooiery is \u2019n ou taktiek van rowers wat al jare lank spora\u00addies opvlam oor die land heen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is Gerrie Pieterse, voorsitter van die Weskus-motorfietsvereniging (WMA), se reaksie op \u2019n voorval verlede week waarin \u2019n motorfietsryer wat onderdeur die brug na Hopefield op die R27 gery het, met halwe bakstene bestook is. Een het die motorfietsryer op die arm getref.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Weskus-omgewing is motorfietsryers en motoriste tot met die voorval verlede week nog di\u00e9 soort aanvalle gespaar. In die Kaap het die motorfiets\u00adryers al memorandums aan die polisie oorhandig en groter polisieteenwoordigheid by verskeie ge\u00efdentifiseerde brandpunte gevra, waar motorfietsryers en motoriste gereeld met enigiets van groot klippe tot spanspekke gegooi word. Dit sluit veral die R300 in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Pieterse is motorfietsryers blootgestel aan erge potensi\u00eble beserings en kan hulle maklik beheer verloor wanneer iets hulle tref \u2013 teen enige spoed. \u201cDie moontlikheid van \u2019n ongeluk is groot met nie net skade aan die voertuig nie, maar ook persoonlike beserings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tendens wys dat br\u00fbe \u2019n gunsteling is vir misdadigers om weg te kruip en vinnig te kan wegkom. \u2019n Ander gevaarpunt is oorgange waar voertuie stadiger beweeg en so \u2019n makliker teiken word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hoofdoel agter die aanvalle is juis om \u2019n ongeluk te veroorsaak ten einde die motorfietsryer te beroof, ten spyte van die feit dat dit lewensverlies kan veroorsaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dieselfde geld vir motoriste wat stilhou om die skade aan \u2019n voorruit te bekyk of selfs net nie verder kan ry nie omdat die voorruit te erg beskadig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die enigste raad wat Pieterse vir Weskus-motorfietsryers het, is om waaksaam te wees en in groepe rond te beweeg. \u201cOngelukkig word alleenryers uitgesonder, want dit maak \u2019n rooftog makliker en veiliger vir die aanvaller.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, benadruk dat enige voorval waarin klippe na voertuie gegooi is, onmiddellik by die naaste polisiekantoor aangemeld moet word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit sal help om \u2019n tendens te bepaal en moontlik polisi\u00ebring te verhoog waar nodig. Dit sluit ook die aanmeld van verdagte mense wat onder en op br\u00fbe rondstaan, in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motorfietsryers en motoriste word afgeraai om self stil te hou om ondersoek in te stel omdat dit hulle aan gewapende aanvallers blootstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieterse maan mense wat meen hulle is in staat om die situasie self te \u201cberedder\u201d, om dit nie te doen nie, al voel hulle gefrustreerd. Hulle moet eerder die wet volg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGeniet die rit, maar bly op jou hoede waar jy ook al ry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
