Almost no day passes without the morning paper, bringing some news about one or other of the road accidents. The more civilized we grow, the more we prone to road accidents. Why it so? There many reasons for such accidents. For instance, there fast-moving vehicles. In big cities, speed and greater speed seem to be the rule. So, when one vehicle tries to overtake another, gruesome accidents may be the result. It not uncommon to read in the newspapers that a good number of accidents occur on festival days. As a result, there will be a number of deaths.

Another reason, perhaps a major one, the lack of road sense among pedestrians. Everyone must use the road, but everyone should also know how to use the road. The pedestrian and the cyclist often the victims of road accidents because they keep to their end of the road. School children must therefore be taught how to take to the road. The cyclists very often the victims of their folly. They indulge in gay riding, two or three abreast obstructing the vehicular traffic. The result , as one understands the accident.

Another cause of road accidents an unmanned level crossing. The train may be coming. A car or a cab would try to cross the level crossing and would be hit. So, a lot of precautions must be taken at the level crossing. They should, on all accounts, be provided with gates and perhaps also alarm signals.

Mechanical troubles may be another reason for road accidents. The motorist will not be able to control the vehicle, hence the accident. To avoid accidents, periodical check-ups of public vehicles must be insisted on.

Another cause of the accidents poor vision due to fog. This very often happens in cold countries. To avoid this, warnings given about the fog condition and visibility. On wet roads sometimes, the tyres skid, resulting in accidents. To avoid accidents, as in the case of health, prevention always better than cure.
