We all love our families and friends and always wish for their well being all the time. Even a random vague thought of losing them and never be able to see them again makes our heart skip a beat. So, How many of your loved ones follow traffic rules?
India is the 3rd country in terms of Automobile sales after China and America. With so many vehicles on road, it becomes extremely imperative that we follow rules of the road. We loose ~400 people everyday and as per last records, we lost ~1.5 lac people in a year in road accidents in India. Ever thought, what would their families have gone through. 46% of these were between 18-35 age group. 35% of them were on two wheelers. Reasons………?
1. NOT FOLLOWING TRAFFIC SIGNALS
2. DRIVING BEYONG SPEED LIMITS
3. RIDING WITHOUT HELMETS: Even cops cannot make them follow traffic rules!
4. USING MOBILE PHONE WHILE DRIVING
5. DRIVING ON WRONG SIDE
6. DRINKING AND DRIVING
7. IMPROPER LANE DRIVING: No worries about any traffic rules!
8. UNDERAGE DRIVERS

Honestly, it is not that difficult to be safe. It’s just that we have been watching these tricks since the time we were young. Furthermore, we think it’s “cool” to trick the cops. However, it is time we realize that there is nothing cooler than being safe and being alive.
