Road Safety: The Ever Increasing Traffic on Roads

There literally looks no end to the ever increasing traffic on the roads. The majority of the vehicles are either two-wheeler or four-wheeler. We can see hundreds of meters of vehicles one after the other on roads during peak traffic hours. The sheer thought of so many vehicles is really frightening and alarming.

Frightening for the reason that we really know where we are heading? It is indeed scaring at times to drive on crowded roads. Moreover, I have experienced that many young boys are getting extremely irresponsible when driving.

Keeping a check on the speed is a thing they have neither been taught nor have they learnt. There is a high risk that they injure themselves as well as someone else.

Such rash driving is also alarming is many times people – especially the teenagers and college going chaps just do not have any fear or do not think of the bad consequences that such driving can cause. They just don’t have any fear. I had learnt during my college days that fear is one such psychological thing that saves a person from attempting too risky things (apart from the exceptions, of course).

But, it looks like today there are many daredevils on the roads who take everything for granted. There are hundreds of thousands of road accidents daily in India. It is high time road safety is put ahead of everything else.
