What We Think
We lose lakhs of lives each year in road crashes. Most of these accidents take place due to people not following traffic regulations, particularly pertaining to speed limits. Overspeeding is the major cause of all crashes around the globe. Had the person been driving within the speed limit, it is possible that he would’ve been able to control the situation. No amount of safety rating can ever replace the need for safe driving. Furthermore, not wearing a seatbelt is an invitation to trouble. We would like to urge our readers to never overspeed. Also, if you find anyone flouting traffic rules, make sure to report them to the authorities so that proper action can be taken against them. That is the only way to safeguard our roads.
