Describe what you found to be the leading causes of fatalities.

Answer 1

Ans :      In my investigation I found that the following are the main causes of the fatalities .

1. Age – This is the one of the main causes of the fatalities because the government has set some particular age for getting a driving license. Why they kept it because they know driving at the earlier ages leads to the fatalities. Because when children or driving they might not aware of the route , speed limit and how to drive and all factors what not. They didn’t have the proper knowledge and required maturity to drive the vehicles. Not only the children while we are driving we should be carefully such that it should not spoil you are life.
2. Over Speed – Now days no one following the traffic rules , because they didn’t have sufficient time to follow the rules. Over speed and wrong route all are one of the causes. And not waiting at the traffic signals.
3. Alcohol – This is also the main reason , government has passed the rule that the drinking person cannot drive the vehicle , he/she may be accompanied by the one who do not drink. Over drinking and driving and hitting the platforms and footpaths.
4. Technical problems in Road – The platforms , foot paths and crash barriers should be provided with of good quality. And some of the fatalities are done by this also. Not many but few.
5. Dangerous Turnings – In some of the roads there is a sharp turnings such that we didn’t see the vehicles coming from other side. Then we should avoid that turnings if possible if not atleast sign and caution boards should be provided.
6. Careless ness of the driver and traffic intensity and place these are also the some of the factors.
