Rash Driving: One of the major reasons for road accidents. It claims the lives of people for no fault of theirs.
Drinking and Driving: Although many times, the various government ministries under rule have highlighted this same issue, but the drunken drivers do not learn a lesson. They do what they wish to, thus risking even somebody else’s life.
The Pitiable Condition of Roads: In India, the condition of roads is such drastic that you have to find the road amid the number of potholes. Thus, especially in Rainy season and at night, it can lead to accidents and injuries.
Mobile and Cell Phone Usage:
