Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Every day in the newspaper, we read about road accidents where people get severely injured and even die. You may have also been in an accident yourself or witnessed one happening. Many of us may even have seen crowding on the street around two vehicles that look bashed up. Road accidents are not uncommon in big cities where there are thousands of cars, motorcycles, auto-rickshaws, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. Road accidents are most often the result of people breaking traffic rules.

 

There is a reason that traffic rules are created in the first place. However, people break them all the time, especially when they know that the police don’t always catch them for doing it. While the people who break the rules and get away with it are lucky not to get caught, they are endangering their lives whenever they indulge in such misbehavior. The penalty for breaking traffic rules is generally a fine, but worse consequences of this are injuries like paralysis, broken bones, concussions, etc. The worst possible outcome of breaking traffic rules and getting into a road accident is death.

The traffic rule that people break the most is jumping red lights, which means they keep driving even when the signal is red. Another bad habit that causes road accidents is drunk driving. What they don’t realize is that when the light is red for them, it is green for someone else and that they are putting their lives in danger because of this. A lot of times, people take turns on the road without putting on their indicator to do so, and this can lead to road accidents too. Thus, breaking traffic rules is very harmful, and people should refrain from doing so not only out of fear of the police but also because it risks their lives.

 

When I was 11 years old, I was going out somewhere with my father, and while we were waiting at a signal for the light to turn green, the traffic began to increase a lot. Suddenly, we realized why it was increasing – many people had come out of their cars to see what was happening. There was a crowd on the road around a man who was lying on the floor next to a fallen scooter, and everyone was trying to help him get up. The people took him straight to the hospital, where he had to get a few stitches and go home.

Road accidents are very scary, so we must ensure the utmost safety while driving. One must always wear their seat belt, only drive when the signal is green, stick to the speed limit, stay in your own lane, wear helmets when riding bikes, etc. The best way to prevent getting in a road accident is to ensure that you are following all the rules required to keep you safe. After all, we only have one life, and it is important to take care of it so we can enjoy it to the fullest.

Answer 2

Answer:

Even though they occur frequently, road accidents are the worst thing that may happen to a road user. The worst part is that we don't learn from our road mistakes. The majority of road users are quite aware of the general safety precautions and rules that apply when using the roads, however, accidents and wrecks only occur as a result of road users' negligence.

1. Excessive speed
2. Driver distractions
3. Drunk driving
4. Jumping at red lights
5. Refusing to wear safety equipment like seatbelts and helmets
6. Failure to maintain lane discipline and improper overtaking

Human error is the main cause of the increasing number of road accidents. The majority of fatal incidents are caused by overspeeding. Humans have an inherent drive to succeed. Man is capable of speeds that can reach infinite if given the chance. However, we will always follow some other vehicle when using the road with other users. The likelihood of an accident and the severity of any injuries sustained increases with speed.

It's normal to drink alcohol to mark special occasions. However, when combined with driving, it turns a happy occasion into a bad one. Alcohol impairs mental ability. It shortens the human body's reaction time. It takes longer for the limbs to respond to brain commands. Due to the dizziness, vision is hampered. Alcohol reduces fear and encourages people to take chances. While driving, all these factors result in collisions, many of which are fatal. Outside or inside the car, distractions are possible. Talking on a cell phone while driving is currently the main source of distraction.

At road crossings, it's typical to see cars driving through a red light without paying attention to it. Red light running is mostly done to save time but these often lead to unfortunate events.

Today, it is illegal to drive a four-wheel vehicle without a seatbelt, and two-wheeler drivers are also required to wear helmets. Due to research that shows wearing a seat belt and a helmet decreases the severity of injuries sustained in accidents, these two items have been made legally required. Accident prevention strategies:

• Road safety education and awareness
• Strict Law Enforcement
• Design of the vehicle to prevent accidents
• Improvement in Road infrastructure
• Keeping to the posted speed limit and
• Avoiding overspeeding.
• Not driving when intoxicated.
• Use of helmets by drivers of two-wheelers
• increasing visibility, using the proper headlights, and lighting the roads.
• Obeying the laws of traffic.

These measures should be adopted by citizens as well as government should also take strict actions in this regard to avoid any kind of Mishappening.
