No Road Safety in India- Thanks to Hasty Drivers
There is no doubt in the fact that our lives are getting very fast these days. Everyone is running to achieve more in life and in order to do so they are least bothered about who or what comes in their way. This phenomenon is very prevalent on Indian Road Traffic. I am pointing towards lack of road safety in India no matter if its Delhi traffic in the north, Bangalore traffic and Chennai traffic in the south or Bombay traffic for that matter. In each city vehicles are in abundance that there are not sufficient roads to cater to the growing demands of rapidly increasing road traffic.
If we analyze the "http://www.indiantrafficnews.com">Traffic situation in Delhi, the Indian Capital, one would be able to realize the worst kind of perils that one may have to face while "http://www.indiantrafficnews.com">Driving on Indian roads. Even after not so frequent establishment of new flyovers to reduce the congestion of traffic, Delhi roads, still seems too narrower to facilitate smooth flow of diverse types of vehicles which includes trucks, dangerous blue line buses, cars, scooters, high-acceleration bikes and last but not the least bicycles and cycle rickshaws.
Most of these vehicles have different speeds and most of the time these speed variation lead to inevitable accidents that worsens the Traffic safety in India. One can imagine the situation on roads with high pick-up motor bikes and slowly driven cycles sharing the same lanes. For instance, when a bicycle rider has to make a U-turn he is suppose to change his lane from left to right and while doing so the poor rider is in great danger of getting crushed by other heavy vehicles commuting on the same road. The hasty motor riders hardly care about neither cycle riders nor the pedestrians who are trying to cross the road.
And the Traffic authorities in India are making least efforts to overcome these traffic problems to prevent numerous deaths that take place on Indian roads so often. A separate lane can be allotted to slow moving vehicles to provide them much needed safety while reaching their destinations. This idea has been successfully implemented in some foreign countries and India should learn from their example. But the popular phenomenon of road rage in India involving abusive exchanges between the two or more traffic users will still continue on India roads until and unless people will begin to respect other commuters and be patient while driving.
