With the current ongoing rainy weather, the tarmac might be even more slippery than before.
As such, it’s necessary to exercise due care when travelling to our destination.

Fortunately for this motorcyclist, the pedestrian was thoughtful enough to render his assistance.
Hopefully, this incident will serve as a reminder to more of us to offer our help to others when required.
