Increasing road accidents
Road accident is most unwanted thing to happen to a road user, though they happen quite often. The most unfortunate thing is that we don't learn from our mistakes on road. Most of the road users are quite well aware of the general rules and safety measures while using roads but it is only the laxity on part of road users, which cause accidents and crashes. Main cause of accidents and crashes are due to human errors. We are elaborating some of the common behaviour of humans which results in accident.
1.Over Speeding
2.Drunken Driving
3.Distractions to Driver
4.Red Light Jumping
5.Avoiding Safety Gears like Seat belts and Helmets
6.Non-adherence to lane driving and overtaking in a wrong manner
Various national and international researches have found these as most common behavior of Road drivers, which leads to accidents.
When a vehicle collides with another on the road is called a road accident. It is a common phenomenon in our country. Road accident is increasing by leaps and bounds day by day. It is the most gruesome of the daily occurrences. It occurs in Bangladesh primarily owing to the reckless driving of the drivers. They often go almost mad to overtake without caring for traffic rules and regulations. Road accident can cause irreparable loss and injure anyone badly. Sometimes it takes a toll of a great many valuable lives. The effect of a road accident is pathetic. A little mistake can cause a lot of tears to anybody. Somebody loses his/her dear and near ones forever. Pedestrians are the worst sufferers. They are often run over by the wheel while crossing the road. However, steps should be taken to make sure that drivers abide by traffic rules. Exemplary punishment should be meted out to those who are held responsible for road accidents. The old vehicles should not be allowed to play on the road. Pedestrians should be encouraged to use the footpath and overbridge while crossing the road. The people from all walks of life should come forward to tackle the problem jointly. Last of all the government should launch a programme to tackle it and enforce law and order strictly to curb road accidents.
