According to a report from last February, data shows that cases of dangerous one-wheeling by motorcyclists in Lahore increased during the months of pleasant weather like spring.
The incidents decrease during harsh summer and winter seasons, the data analysis showed. The number of reported cases historically increase during March, April and May before decreasing gradually in June and July.
The incidents again start increasing in August and then drop drastically in November onward, according to the data of calls made at Police Helpline 15 during the past two years.
In March, April and May, the weather is moderate and it turns hot in June and July. From August onwards, moderate temperatures prevail before harsh winter in December.
In moderate weather, the one-wheelers swamp the roads, while their number drops amid harsh weather, the data showed.
