Therefore、 to meet their daily needs、 human needs to mobile from a place to another、 such as : market、 school、 restaurant、 etc. To afford the needs of their mobility、 human take a lot of time or inefficient if they just take a walk、 therefore they need vehicle to cut the time needed. In Indonesia、 motorcycle become the most favourite as its easier to adapt with any kind of conditions in Indonesia such as traffic jam.
However、 as theres a rising number of motorcycle ridden by the people、 the chance of accident caused by motorcycle is also increasing. Every year、 the number of accident by vehicle tends to increase and its categorized high. Its proved by the data of traffic accident. For example in 2011、 there were about 108、696 accidents and in the following year the number increased to 11、.949. (Source : Korlantas Polri). There various causes of accident including carelessness (forget to turn off the indicator light、 forget to put back the kickstand、 being sleepy when riding、 not paying attention to the rear view mirror) or、 technical problems (The brakes dont work properly、 etc). Meanwhile、 the researches on traffic accidents and how to prevent it are still keep developed. There has been some efforts to reduce the number of accidents.
Because of that reason、 the researchers got an idea to create a reminder instrument in motorcycle which could remind the riders not to forget turning off the indicator light.
