How to reduce accidents which is increasing day by day? It is a major question for all of us in current days. Accidents occurring on road are an issue of great concern for all citizens of India. Not a day passes when we do not read report in news paper or see on the news channels about at least 2 or 3 serious road accidents. Approximately every person has been affected by such accidents at one time or the other, because a relative or friend of someone is connected to such accidents. The number of deaths in India per year is 10 to 15 thousand and more than that in advance countries.
The big reason of these road accidents is increasing the number of motor vehicle day by day. Youth generation of our country is mostly affected by road accidents, reason is motor bikes. It is a bitter truth that is also adds to accidents on roads. Our inability to provide enough funds to widen the roads or to construct new roads in proportion to rise in vehicle population also results in perpetuating this state of affairs.
Road accidents, which increase day by day, is a big problem of country, at present people are not safe on road when they drive their vehicle. Reason is bad situation of road, uncontrolled traffic on road, ignorance of the traffic rules by people etc. These accidents do not affect only a person’s life but also the economy of our nation due to investment for emergency services, provide Ambulance Services, Ambulance with ICU facilities by hospitals, to take people in hospital that injured in road accidents and many other causes. It is totally happened due to carelessness of a person, nothing else.
To control road accidents we mentioned important method may be if our Govt. applies these steps then we reduce the increasing number of road accidents:
1) Government should be imposed heavy penalty on all those people who annoyed speed limits. If this is strictly implemented, nobody will dare to go at high speed. Existing speed limits should be brought down further.
2) Heavy punishment should be compulsory for those people who cause of the unsafe road accidents. Tamper proof speed controllers should be made compulsory for all heavy vehicles by Govt. New heavy vehicles should have built in tamper proof speed controllers. 2 wheeler manufacturers should be asked to design two wheelers with a designed maximum possible speed of 50/60 kmph. This limit may be decided based on the conditions of each country.
3) Diving tests should be made compulsory before issuing the driving license. Driving license is to be made more stringent & foolproof. Lower age limit for two wheeler & Heavy Vehicle license should be raised to 21.
4) Helmet should be made compulsory by law in all countries, or inflict a lower speed limit for those road users who do not use helmet. Issue of helmet should be made compulsory with the sale of each two wheeler and Helmet should be made compulsory for back seat riders also.
If Road Users follow all that steps then they not only save their life from accidents but also help our govt. to invest money on right division like Education Sectors, Employment Sectors etc.
