Why Road Safety Matters
Every year, millions of people around the world lose their lives or suffer serious injuries in road traffic accidents. These tragedies are not just numbers; they are friends, family members, co-workers, and loved ones. Many of these accidents are preventable with the right knowledge, behavior, and infrastructure.
Road safety is not only the responsibility of the government or law enforcement; it’s a shared responsibility that includes drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and even passengers. Everyone has a role to play in making our roads safer.

Common Causes of Road Accidents
Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
Distracted Driving: Using mobile phones, eating, or adjusting the radio while driving can be deadly.
Drunk Driving: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and slow down reaction time.
Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving, such as tailgating and unsafe lane changes, increases the risk of collisions.
Fatigue: Drowsy driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving.
Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or snow can make roads slippery and reduce visibility.
Ignoring Traffic Rules: Running red lights, not yielding, and failing to signal can lead to crashes.
