The Menace of Reckless Driving: Let’s Put an End to It
DEADLY ROADS
BY- Gautam
1.5 lakh people every year lose their lives on roads and that is data for India only. The number in the whole world is far bigger and alarming. Even pedestrians are not safe. Many are crushed by the reckless drivers who feel themselves entitled to use the roads the way they want. Careless driving is a common feature on our roads, leading to tragic accidents that claim precious lives. The recent incident occurred in Sector 27, where a teenage boy lost his life.
The government has done its duty by announcing compensation money. But can money really compensate loss of a life. No, never, the irresponsible drivers must be punished strictly before more innocent lives are lost on roads. One crucial step is to totally prohibit minors from driving. They often lack the maturity and experience necessary to handle vehicles safely.
It is the prime duty of the authority to ensure that all road users follow traffic rules diligently, wear helmets and seat belts. It can significantly reduce severity of injuries in accidents. Driving rashly, playing on roads, encroaching on road space, and driving under the influence of alcohol or using mobile must be strictly avoided.
Schools, colleges, and community organizations can play a significant role in conducting workshops and campaigns to educate people about road safety and promote responsible driving practices.

Reckless driving has become a common feature on our roads, resulting in the loss of precious lives every day. The recent news of a teenaged boy losing his life in an accident is just one of the many unfortunate incidents caused by reckless driving. It is high time that we take a stand against this evil and work towards making our roads safer for everyone.
One of the major causes of reckless driving is minors getting behind the wheel. It is important for parents and guardians to educate their children about the dangers of driving without a license and to refrain from allowing them to drive until they are of legal age. Moreover, those who are guilty of reckless driving should be punished severely to set an example for others. Another factor contributing to reckless driving is the disregard for traffic rules. It is crucial for all drivers to obey traffic signals, wear helmets, and seat belts while driving. They must also avoid driving rashly, playing on the roads, encroaching roads, and most importantly, not drink and drive. These small actions can go a long way in preventing accidents and saving lives.
Additionally, there is a need to create awareness and educate people about road safety. This can be done through campaigns, workshops, and seminars. Schools can also play a vital role in educating students about road safety and the consequences of reckless driving. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the police authorities to be more vigilant and take strict action against those who violate traffic rules. They must also ensure proper road infrastructure and maintenance to prevent accidents caused by poor road conditions.
In conclusion, reckless driving is a serious issue that needs to be addressed urgently. It is our responsibility as citizens to follow traffic rules and encourage others to do the same. Let’s work together to make our roads safer and put an end to the menace of reckless driving. Remember, a small act of caution can save a life.
