  "account": "In Rajkot, a woman learning to drive an Activa had a harrowing experience when she lost control of the scooter while attempting a U-turn near the Govindbagh vegetable market. The incident was captured on a nearby CCTV camera and quickly spread across social media. According to the footage, the woman was riding along the road when she lost control of the scooter midway through the turn. Instead of stopping, the Activa continued at speed and hit the shop's closed shutter with significant force. The impact was so powerful that it threw the woman off the scooter, who fell headfirst near the shutter.\n\nThe incident has raised concerns about the safety of inexperienced riders practicing on busy public roads. While the woman was rescued safely and no major casualties were reported, the footage serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers involved. Social media users reacted with shock and concern, questioning the appropriateness of practising turns and braking in a crowded area.\n\nAuthorities emphasized the importance of proper supervision and learning in open, low-traffic areas. It is crucial for beginners to gain better control of the vehicle before attempting more complex maneuvers.
