Road accidents happen suddenly and unexpectedly. When accidents happen, the person whom it is done and the persons involved will have to be taken to the hospital and the police station.
Road accidents take place due to many reasons. Some of them can be due to drunkenness or drowsiness. As humans we can avoid drunkenness and drowsiness by stopping the use of alcohol and drinking water or washing the face. Accidents can also happen due to competitiveness. That is why they say “Be wise but not too bold.” Some bus drivers forget the largeness of the bus and try to enter them through small spaces in traffic jams. Three-wheeler drivers too forget that the three-wheeler isn’t that strong and try to compete with buses and lorries. These are causes for accidents.
Accidents are man made, so they can be increased or decreased. So people should be more careful about their health and reputation as both can be damaged severely due to road accidents.
