Answer:
SPEED THRILLS BUT KILLS
Date: 3 August 2019
Who doesn't love speed, in fact, this whole work has turned into a speed machine, where everyone is always in a hurry. No one wants to be late to reach somewhere, no one wants to be looked back at by someone but is this speed beneficial for us? Speed might give you that adrenaline rush in your body and for once might excite you but sometimes it can be lethal not just for the one in speed but also the people around him. This is why it is always said 'Better late than never'. Speed is not always the solution if you want to be early somewhere, manage your time and leave early for that place or an important meeting. Going in speed won't make sure if you'll reach your destination or not.
Answer:
Like many roads I’ve been on in this country, NH-17 north out of Mangalore has one crazy feature. It will suddenly direct you, with a “DIVERSION" sign, into the oncoming traffic lane. This goes on, back and forth, sometimes for dozens of kilometres.
I was on that highway days ago. My knuckles whitened as my taxi driver bore down on trucks and buses that bore down on us, each pulling aside at the last second. And then we’d swerve, via a “DIVERSION" sign, into the other lane. Repeat. As my life flashed past, I remembered coming across some accident statistics last week. Not encouraging: year after year, our ministry of road transport and highways reports that India has the highest number of car-related deaths in the world. Nearly 140,000 slaughtered on our roads in 2012—way ahead of such other car-crazed countries as China and the US (though, amazingly, a tiny decline from the year before).
So I told the driver, please slow down.
