Question

How are the risks associated with motion in one dimension (road accidents) prevented or minimized?

Answer 1

Road accidents can be minimised by:

• Wearing seat belts while driving. This will prevent injury to the passengers while sudden braking of the vehicle.

• The vehicle should not be driven at a speed greater than the speed limit for the road.

• The vehicle should be driven on the specific lane on the road intended for that kind of vehicles.

• Cars with air-bags should be introduced. It prevents deceleration injuries.

___________________________

• Regarding pedestrians, they should cross the road only through zebra crossing when the signal for car turns red.

• Pedestrians should not walk on the road.

• Light vehicles like rickshaw and cycles shouldn't be driven on main roads.
