    I agree fully with Mr. Rao, Udupi. Safety education is essential for all, especially youngsters. Authorities, including NGOs should plan and conduct regular safety awareness campaigns and teach all drivers how to drive safely in our rather unsafe roads.

    Daily so many lives are lost due to accidents. Reason is majorly not following traffic rules or recklessness in driving. RTO authorities at least should wake up and have awareness campaign to educate the drivers on safe driving. I urge various NGOs also to join hands in this regard.
