One person dies in this world every twenty five seconds due to road traffic accidents...Every minute of each day, someone dies in a car or bike accident. ...after heart disease and cancer, the leading cause of death is road accidents. Incidentally, majority of deaths in India is due to horrible condition of our roads...over speeding comes next...and next comes alcohol and drugs while driving. In our country, two wheeler accidents account for 25% of total road crash deaths. and 20 children under the age of 14 die every day due to road crashes and yes, there is no statistics available for traffic rules offenders in our country...I think, every third person in India is habitual traffic offender. Friends, keep your eyes on the road while driving, you should be doing nothing else while driving, follow speed limits and never drink and drive and yes, helmet saves lives. BTW, many must have died by road accidents by the time you finish reading this blog... Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.
True, negligence in driving is no excuse. Rashless driving...simply punishable!!
