Every day countless people face road accidents and most of them lose their precious life and a few of them get extremely injured/wounded. So, we need to learn how to use the roads properly and safely.

No sensible/careful person would like to be involved in an accident as the roads are very busy nowadays and we should be very careful while crossing the road. It is safer to use a pedestrian crossing or an overhead bridge whenever one is available.

However, if there are no crossings, we must then look carefully at the right and left and cross only when it is safe. Some of us take a bus to school. We mustn't get on or off a bus while it is still moving and we must not fool around while on the bus a sudden lurch can send us knocking our hands against something hard.

            Riding a bicycle can be dangerous too. We must pay attention to the road and must obey all traffic rules. As well as must make sure our bicycles are in good condition with working breaks, lights, etc. We should avoid over-speeding since traffic rules have been designed with safety foremost in mind. It takes into account safety for all, including pedestrians. Preference is to be given to pedestrians and children in crossing the road. Follow the line, and keep the required distance between vehicles. It is important to display appropriate indications/ singles, especially when changing lines before a turn. Respect for others drivers on the road is obligatory for road safety.

A seat belt also known as a safety belt is a vehicle safety belt, which is designed to secure the person, sitting in the vehicle, against harmful movement that may result during a collision or sudden stop. A seat reduces the risk of death or serious injury in a traffic accident. Traffic singles are very important as they warn about accident-prone stops' so that the driver can reduce the speed of the vehicle. Road safety is a collective responsibility of the government and people should always drive carefully and take all precautionary steps for our safety .the important thing is to stay alert at all times while using the roads we must know what is happening around us .in that way we can take necessary action to avoid danger whenever we see one .road safety is very much up to how we use the roads.
