It’s an accident or an invited incident

It happens only on our Indian roads, recent reports of WHO (World health organization) says 10% of global road accident deaths occurs in India alone!

The family who losses its member by road accident can call it as fate of that particular person, but as a whole society can we call this 1, 25,000 deaths as fate… can us?

Fundamentally we are wrong; one can easily get a Driving license without stepping into RTO office, by simply paying bribe money to RTO officials through some brokers. It’s impossible to teach driving to a blind person but it possible to get him a license, what a contradictory and that’s how our government employees work blindly for bribe!!!

Mobile phones have become like a Karna’s kavacha kundala and each of us carry at least one, we speak on it while we work, while we play, while we pray, while we study, while we shop, while we eat, while we sh…t,,, the list goes on and on. And why people do the same thing while driving. People are keener on buying gadget like Bluetooth along with there mobile phones because Bluetooth provides them a comfortable conversation while driving. But some times it also comfortable takes them into trauma care to the nearest hospital.

It is fun to watch when a drunker dances, it pathetic to watch him when he drives on the road.  It’s crystal clear that most of the People who comes to bar to take alcohol, comes with there self driven own vehicle. After getting boozed up, they challenge there own lives on roads with there wild ride. 

In Tamilnadu a week before government as announced helmet wearing is compulsory. A News says, in Bhopal the petrol bunks will turn away the two-wheeler riders who are not wearing helmets.

Law enforces to wear helmet for driving two-wheelers but many don’t obey it, some keep it safe at home, some takes it with them just to escape from getting caught by the traffic police. Many Women’s who accelerate on roads looks like a Taliban terrorist covering a big dropping mask over there face and leaving there head just covered with shawls, it can save there complexion but not there lives.
Maximum road accident deaths occurs due to head injuries, its critical for any doctors to save a casualty with a concealed damaged brain, so no one needs much more clarification why helmet is necessary

One can firmly hold his trousers without wearing a hip belt but not sure can hold his life without wearing car’s seat belt, when provision is there to save life why people need to neglect it?

In major metro cities road traffic is becoming worse n worse, at recent days I have seen more unethical behavior by two & four wheelers riders, for instance: With its siren on an Ambulance was flying on the road with casualty inside , the sad thing what I witnessed was, there were number of bikes and cars following the ambulance with same speed! Stupid people they jus wanted to use the open way that had been created by the ambulance. The victim inside was fighting for his own life, and how about this cruel people who chases him for a free open way,,, Disgusting

One should kill the Ego before going on to the road for ride. To make a safe drive, competition needs to be completely avoided. Rule says if some vehicle at our back buzzes the horn and asks for way, we need to give them it right away, because no one knows in what sort of hurry situation the other in.

On the whole to overcome from this nasty death records the vital things to follow will be:

Engineering –India has an approx of 4 million kilometers of road network, one of the largest in the world, had been increasing by more than 10 per cent annually. It’s in the hands of government to make a Quality Solid Road Infrastructure Development.

Enforcement – Every Law is enforced to provide a better way of living, it’s much essential to follow a law which saves lives
Education – General awareness should be created among public society

Above all we care for each and every one whom we belongs to, and we repeatedly heard lot of concerned voices from our family, friends and well wishers saying

-Are you driving, ok I will call you later
-Yeh why don’t you put your helmet
-Don’t drive fast, go slow
-Beware of heavy vehicles in that route
-Night drive is not safe, try to start up early in the morning,,,,, and so on.

These lines might sounds very simple but it carries a great concern and love with in it. So be safe on roads
 Let accident be accident and let not be an invited incident,,,
