Drive Safe-'stop blaming; step learning’

 

A car bumped into another and both were severely damaged. In that accident, a lady and a man were gravely wounded. While driving the car the lady was talking over the mobile and suddenly the accident occurred. Now one might think that the lady must be the only reason for the occurrence of the accident. Isn’t it true? Then let me clear the air and the answer is a big ‘NO’! Did you ever thought that it is also possible that the man in the other car was drunk and driving! Now take a few minutes to think why do we always blame a lady driver? Just because of ‘her’ gender our minds are set!

It is a human’s tendency to blame someone, so as to get rid of being answerable, people often put the allegation to women drivers. When an accident occurs then it is believed that one of the drivers might be a female, without even thinking over the other side of the story. Similarly, it is believed that if a driver takes a U-turn besides ‘No U-turn’ sign or if someone wrongly parked the vehicle at ‘Towing-Zone’ area then the person might be a female driver. In my opinion, blaming people according to their gender is not the right way. After all, a mistake is a mistake’ no matter who committed it. Gender-based judgments can only cause a hypercritical situation.

Rash Driving is not a small problem it is done when someone intentionally break-down traffic rules. Drink and Drive is something like purposely inviting accidents. Lack of responsibility and lack of training is a severe problem in common. When someone commits a mistake whether it is a small or a big; mistake is a fault and in some cases, it could be a blunder too. All the people indulged in that accident are equally the victims as well as they are equally reasonable for the occurrence of the accident. All kind of mistakes committed on the road can lead to grave penalties so it is better to be watchful, careful towards the traffic rules.

 At the young age of the high school, students should get formal driving training for two years along with a formal extra curriculum subject. It is said that at learning age one could grasp everything quickly from the environment. If the new generations will be trained by the government as a part of education then we could expect new revolutionary traffic generation on the road. Which will be strictly, thoroughly, trained to set marks on the road. To avoid accidents at an early age, I think that the students of class eleventh and twelfth should be introduced to driving as a co-curricular compulsory subject. We practice reading and writing in school. Similarly, students who will step into the word of driving should be trained to drive well and should be introduced to all the safety rules. Hence new traffic generation will not only get habitual of driving safe; they will also guide others co-drivers on the road.

In the end, let us think that what will be the outcome if we all “stop blaming and step learning”. Don’t blame or criticise someone for your own carelessness and try to be full of patients, be careful, be watchful and follow traffic rules firmly.
