The recently conducted surveys of governmental agencies all around the world reflect alarming increase in statistics pertaining to auto accidents. Although, statistics are widely considered as fabricated reporting of an event, however, one can still feel that this is not the case with car accidents.
From the past few years, it has been observed that there is rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the road including personal and commercial vehicles. Even in most developing countries, number of car owners has outnumbered those, who do not own a car. Therefore, by these simple stats, it can be easily inferred that there has been an increase in the number of auto accidents in the recent few years.
Nowadays, with such high frequency of car accidents every year, we are all surrounded with the risk of road accident. This factor is something that needs to be focused on as we all wish to drive in a risk free and secure environment. In order to do that, we must take some precautionary measures to reduce the number of automobile accidents.
If we think upon the factors that are the reason of an auto accident, we can easily deduce the most obvious reasons of accidents are as follows:
- One reason for car accidents is drunk driving
- Another reason for auto accidents is rash and negligent driving
- The important one is underage driving or driving without a proper license
These are the main reasons for most car accidents around the globe. These factors are not very difficult to combat with if there is enough education on these. It is easy to overcome these problems by showing some responsibility and courtesy for others. People should recognize their duties and responsibilities, and should act in accordance with them.
Apart from this, amateur drivers who prefer rash and negligent driving should be penalized severely. Speeding is indeed the primary reason for most automobile accidents. Therefore, it must be a compulsion for everyone to strictly adhere to the rules of state, or else their licenses should be cancelled straightaway.
In addition to this, parents should strictly restrain their children from underage driving as it is not only a crime but also the primary reason for the loss of several valuable lives every year. In order to completely get rid of car accidents and to make it secure for ourselves, we should consider taking the above mentioned safety precautions at our earliest.
