Drive On The road :Thinking about the Road Accident

We are manually drive car on the road always. But we think that any time may fall fatal accident. The statistics show that in the world more 1.24 million deaths occur annually this accident. It is also showing that the poorer countries are mainly victim of it. It will be clear to us if we see the statistics of Austria. In 1985 total road fatalities were 2,941 which is 32.3 per 100,000 motor vehicles. Again in 2011 the total road fatalities were 1,310 which is 5.5 per 100,000 motor vehicles (Wikipedia).

Although its rates downwards but it is not free of worry. It will be realized to everybody. This is the status of a developed country. So we can easily understand that the condition of underdeveloped countries. In this regard many organizations are working in the world. They tried to reduce the road accident. Behind it seems that overpopulation, more cars, less wide roads, driver’s carelessness or ignorance is mainly responsible.

In 2010, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution calling for a Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, and for further global status reports on road safety to monitor the impact of the Decade at national and global levels.

Anish Verghese Koshy, President, Friends for Life, Bangalore, India Says “Our roads, which are meant to take us places, often become venues of loss and sources of sorrow. Friends for Life, India, appreciate and support the initiative WHO is taking to make the world a safer, more responsible place in which to live.”
