Passage for Reading & Comprehension

Accidents are common these days, especially road accidents. There are some reasons why these accidents happen and cause injury or damage. Many people are killed or seriously injured in these accidents. One in seven accidents is caused by sleepy drivers. There are road safety rules that most people do not follow, and that is why accidents take place every day and everywhere.

According to the latest information, all those who use the roads are responsible for accidents. They include pedestrians, truck and bus drivers. Motorcyclists drive very fast without using helmets to protect their heads. Some of them perform dangerous and difficult stunts. Children play in the streets and in this way, they invite dangers and often get hurt. Sometimes they risk their lives while playing dangerous sports. Some dirty little street urchins run after moving vehicles just for fun. Some naughty children run in front of moving vehicles. Some people cross busy roads just to gain a few split seconds. School children cross roads in a hurry from the wrong side. All these foolish, hasty movements often cause accidents.

However, there are some suitable measures through which bad accidents can be averted. Of them, safety factors are most important. They include certain plans. The media can give people road safety instructions. Local police can impart knowledge about traffic-safe travel, hazard-free driving, and risk-free rides.

In this regard, parents can play an important role and save their children’s lives by advising them not to endanger their lives on busy roads and in or at places exposed to danger. They must not allow their children to drive without a driving license. Moreover, they should advise them on road safety rules, traffic rules, and safe driving.
