Car accidents

      Around the world, people ignore dangers on the roads and drive as if they believe that they could never be involved in a traffic accident. Whether riding a motorcycle or driving a car or lorry, many don’t seem to care about safety. 

    Motorcyclists without helmets run the risk of serious injury. Excessive consumption of alcohol causes car accidents as well. For this reason, people should never drink and drive. Another cause of traffic accidents is speeding, so people should never drive too fast and always wear seatbelts. Cars collide when they overtake each other or when people drive on wet or icy roads and under such dangerous conditions as heavy rains or fog. Drives try to avoid a crash by slamming on the breaks or swerving but it’s often too late and vehicles are severely damaged and drivers and passengers are seriously injured. 

      Unfortunately, not only vehicles might be involved in car accidents. Lots of pedestrians are hit while crossing a road. Children riding a bicycle are also at risk especially when they approach a junction or  crossroads. Cyclists suffer serious injuries or they might even be killed when drivers go through the stop sign and crash into them. That’s why children should always wear a helmet when riding a bike. As long as drivers continue to be careless, self-protection is the key to surviving today’s traffic.
