Roads accidents we often may consider a common thing
but it is concerning that the amount of car accidents have been climbing up.
One mistake on the roads will turn into lifetime punishment or regret. For driving cars, trucks or heavy motor
vehicles and riding the rider and the driver both must be qualified for driving
motors vehicles. Because it assures the safety for pedestrians on foot whom should be safe from the reckless drivers. But most concerning is that these pedestrians became the victims including the ‘Cyclists’ and the ‘Motor Cyclists’ as well.
According to a report…
(March 2006) Road traffic accidents—the leading cause of death by injury and the tenth-leading cause of all deaths globally—now make up a surprisingly significant portion of the worldwide burden of ill-health. An estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year, and as many as 50 million are injured, occupying 30 percent to 70 percent of orthopedic beds in developing countries hospitals.1And if present trends continue, road traffic injuries are predicted to be the third-leading contributor to the global burden of disease and injury by 2020.
Nearly 3,500 people die on the world's roads every day. Tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Children, pedestrians, cyclists and the elderly are among the most vulnerable of road user.
Mostly the causes of
such motor vehicles accidents are due to using and attending phone calls with
one hand driving, the drunk driving on the roads, over speeding, overtaking
etc. So being on the safe and avoiding road accidents the drivers and riders
have to be careful on the roads but above all these both have to stay alert and
patient. Many car drivers are
businessmen, doctors, accountants and bankers etc. In fact, the best
alternative these days came out for businessmen is that they don’t have to rush
to attend meeting these days because now they can use wireless webcams to
attend online meetings.
Finally, the important factor of car accidents these days is pollution and two of them which are related to traffic and road accidents; Noise pollution and Air pollution. Causes of Noise pollution turned out this "deafness" in not permanent, although it is often accompanied by a ringing in the ears, and one can hear another person if he raises his voice. Likewise, normal hearing comes back within a few hours at most. This sort of partial hearing loss is called Temporary Threshold Shift (TTS) (Bugliarello, et al., 1976). A TTS may be experienced after firing a gun or after a long drive in the car with the windows open.
Whereas, Air pollution is a significant risk factor for multiple health conditions including respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, according to the WHO. The health effects caused by air pollution may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. These effects can result in increased medication use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital admissions and premature death.
To prevent road
accidents is to reduce the amount of cars and flow of traffic on the road but
with warnings for over speeding and overtaking. As the motor companies
producing number of cars to be driven on the roads but they have ensure with
safety for the drivers, But the problem comes when the pedestrians became the
victim of such cars along with the roadside. So there should be proper solution
for it too. Bus lanes should be on the different side from traffic lane so that
the traffic won’t get disturb.
