A serious concern....

Golden Quadrilateral and North-South, East-West Corridor is almost complete. Better national highways and state highways. 

Quality and performance of cars improving day by day. Once 60 kmph was great. Now 100+ kmph has become the order of the day. 

All this have resulted in...... more & more accidents everyday.

The main cause is negligent driving and ignorance about the road rules.

As per a report from WHO, India tops south-east Asia in number of road accidents every year. Another report claims the number is almost 250 everyday. This means, everyday a fully loaded passenger flight crashes in India. Just because it is not reported as a total number at a single place, we don't really mind this. 

The first one i would blame for this is the government. Right from issuing the driving license to penalizing the traffic rule breakers, the role of the government is important. This is where we have a major blow. Whenever a citizen gets caught by a traffic cop, the first thing that strikes him/her is to use an influence or bribe the cop. Though there are few cops who stick to their job, the number is just not sufficient. Only a heavy penalty like cancelling the license for a year or behind the bars for some period will force the vehicle users to stick to the rules.

But is this really something that should be forced? Are we not concerned about our own safety and the safety of a fellow human? 

Whenever somebody does a negligent driving, the co-user of the road is also at an equal risk. This applies to pedestrians too. A lot many times, improper crossing of the road, leads to accidents resulting in death of the pedestrian as well as life over for the driver.

Dear road users, whatever vehicle you drive two wheeler, four wheeler, heavy vehicles or pedestrians, please bear in your mind that somebody is waiting for you and somebody is waiting for fellow road users too to be back home safely.
