Maximum people including me, believe in luck or fate but the problem is that, when something goes wrong, we blame it on fate, rather than accepting our fault. For example, if a meteor falls on one’s house and destroys it. It can be said that it’s bad luck because there was no way by which the person could have guessed its coming or could have done anything to protect his/her house but if you are going on your bike and due to some reason, your bike slips and you get a serious head injury. Is it luck? I am afraid it’s not, It’s gross negligence. If you would have worn your helmet, the head injury would have been avoided.
According to a credible research, most of the road accidents could be avoided or their effect could be minimised if proper precautions are taken. The issue is that maximum people are aware of the safety precautions and also traffic rules and regulations but they consider it (especially youngsters) cool to not to follow them. How this trend started and gained momentum can be a matter of debate but the fact is this problem has taken monstrous proportions and if something is not done urgently, then very soon things will go out of control.
I think no amount of rules and regulations can solve this problem. For this the mentality of the public (especially youngsters) needs to be changed. I think, this could be done by creating awareness among public through various awareness programs. Let’s hope that in the coming time better sense will prevail among the public and the number of deaths caused by the road accidents will come down.
Accidents are very common in big cities where there are many modes of transport and roads are becoming narrow and overcrowded. We hear of them and read about them in newspapers almost daily.
Such accidents result in loss of life and material. These are caused by the carelessness of drivers and their ignorance and negligence of traffic rules. Once my brother and I decided to see a movie at the Golcha Cinema at Daryaganj in Delhi.
As we were getting late for the show, we began walking fast along the crowded road. All of a sudden there was a loud noise. I saw a man rolling on the ground. He had been knocked down by a car.
