Stop reckless driving

Undoubtedly, reckless driving is the main cause of road accidents in our country. Drivers of all types of transports compete for overtaking one another. The drivers enjoy this lethal racing game on city roads and also on highways. Very often we can see in the highways that during overtaking each other, no passage is left in the right side of the road for the vehicles coming from opposite direction. Many head-on collisions between two transports are happening for this reason. Interestingly, some passengers on board encourage the drivers to win the race instead of abstaining them from it.Only mindful and responsible driving can save many lives. If the drivers of all types of vehicles are considerate to their colleagues working in other vehicles, it really can reduce road accidents significantly.

***
There should be strict punishment for the drivers who drive recklessly. Mere fine is not enough. Most of the bus and truck drivers drive in frenzy. The amateur drivers are frequently getting licenses and driving heavy vehicles in highways in our country. Accidents occur, valuable lives are lost, but these drivers go unpunished. So, accidents occur again and again.
