As drivers, we have a
responsibility on the road to ourselves, our loved ones and to other drivers.
Responsibility here involves a few things. It means that we must be careful on
the road. We must look out for other drivers, especially people in smaller
vehicles and pedestrians. We must think of others and not be selfish and want
our way all the time. Give way once in a while, be courteous and you will find
driving a more pleasant experience.
It is also our
responsibility to ensure that our vehicles are in tip-top condition. This is to
make sure that our vehicles do not break down or cause accidents. Therefore,
service your vehicles regularly, at least once in every six months. While
driving on the road, keep tot he speed limit all the time, not only when we
suspect there is a speed trap ahead.
It is also the duty of
the police to organize road safety campaigns to educate and raise awareness
among road users about the dangers of inconsiderate driving. Drivers who are
caught breaking traffic rules should be punished or fined severely. Right now,
the punishment imposed is not enough to prevent drivers from repeating the
offence or to scare off potential selfish drivers.
Summary:
To curb road accidents, we must ensure that we drive carefully on the road. We
must be courteous and considerate. We must also make sure that our vehicles are
serviced regularly and are in good working order. While driving, we must not
speed. The police should impose a heavy fine on traffic violators and organize
road safety campaigns to raise awareness.
