road accidents

April 18, 2008 8:27pm CST
Now a days road accidents became more common and people loose lives or becoming handicapped.Rash and improper driving, drunken driving particularly by youth cause much of the casualities.Though police keep an eye is it not our duty to follow safety rules ? I always prefer myself and my children drive carefully and plan so that we can start early and reach the place we want to go safe.

These are good ideas & plans. Rushing when you drive can cause more accidents, by being impatient & not taking care. Our highest percentage of accidents are those in their late teens, particularly m,ales. Speeding & drink driving is the biggest problem with them.

Thats great that you can drive safely as much as you can, I try too for the sake of my family but I know why that there are more cases of rash driving and road rage. People are more stressed out than they were in the past and driving is a way to release the stress, so thats what I think! Not a good way to deal with stress though. It endangers not only the lives of others but yourself.

of course it is our duty to drive properly and if we don't then we should not be allowed on the road to drive. Foolish drivers not only endanger their lives, they endanger the lives of their passengers, other drivers and even pedestrians on the street.

Yours is a good policy, my friend. All too many people leave late, and then become impatient when the roads are busy. They weave in and out of traffic without any indication as to where they're going and tailgate other cars. These are the people who cause accidents in which other people lose their lives, and they get off lightly. Drink drivers are the pits, but drivers who use their mobile phones whilst driving are not much better. Neither of them is aware of what they're doing, and invariably they cause problems, if not fatal accidents. Brightest Blessings my friend and drive safely.

now a day more and more people especially teen have the " unpunctuality " habit. even though, i'm still a teen but i can admit thats true. this habit really make lots of trouble, when going to work or dating (not me ; ), they will rush to make it on time with their car or bike. if we are a careful driving person, but with a improper driving people in the street, we are still in danger. this kind of situation really make us worry including the pedestrians too. with this kind of the situation, the insurance company have form. this company really help us in term of financial. when we involve in an accident, we will suffer self and financial difficulty, but if you have purchase the accidental insurance policy, the financial difficulty been solve by the company. even though you still suffer from injury, but better than nothing. anyways thanks to insurance company, MANULIFE !! ; ) ; )
