Increasing Road accidents

Sir,
Refer news item, ‘DIG traffic to probe Ramban road accident’ DE Feb 18.
It seems that there is no relief from fatal road accidents in the State. Not a single day buses when one or more than one accidents do not occur. These road accidents cause immense loss of life and property. The  road accidents have become a ban in society. Those who lose their lives in accidents leave a long lasting scar on their families. Some families even lose their bread earners thereby piling grief over grief. Besides, loss of a vehicle in accidents is a burden on exchequer.
The people too have to share responsibility for these horrific accidents. Most of the times, it has been observed that people indulge in rash driving, overtaking and constant honking. The people even have lost patience while driving. Mouthing obscenties at each other by drivers has become a norm now. Unless people restrain themselves, it is not possible for police to check these accidents.
Yours etc…
