    accidents are unpredictable, its a matter of split seconds. but we can prevent most of the accidents with safe driving and riding skills. let me cut it short, its a simple mathematics. speed kills, maintain your speed which is set by the traffic dept and according to the road condition and traffic. the more speed you drive or ride your vehicle, the less time you have to think and react to the situation. the less(average) speed you drive or ride your vehicle, you have more time to think and react to the situation. please avoid distractions especially mobile phones,remember we have one brain, at a time we can focus on only one thing.so avoid using cell phones.one of the major cause for accident. maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, avoid tailgating, have a broader view, gather information, when you sit in your driving or riding seat think its a machine which meant for the journey, not for the entertainment. every day is not the same day. consider the weather condition, especially during rain, oil spills on the roads dangerous, tires may slip. tires are life, please maintain a good tires along with your overall vehicle conditions. don't over-speed manage your time, if possible leave early so that you have enough time. its OK if your late, but don't be late forever. remember your family your loved ones is waiting for you. because millions of people die on the road every year due to road accidents.its our responsibility to protect ourselves and other road users on the road by driving or riding safe. be a defensive driver.

    Sad tohear a young life is lost and others injured May his soul rest in peace.Main cause of such numerous accidents and loss of life is mostly careless driving without looking simply entering in normal flow from sides.Heartfelt sympathies to his family.Wish other one get well soon.
