Explanation / Answer
1.Here, the topic is about motor vehicle crash which happened in Pune mentioned in the newspaper that is Times of India on June 14,2018 and the article title is Bike-borne trio crashes, one killed.
2. A 26-year-old courier delivery agent died and two of his friends sustained injuries after a motorcycle on which they were riding triple seat crashed into cement pipes on the roadside.The accident took place on Monday night on the service road near Popularnagar on the Katraj-Dehu Road bypass. They were not wearing helmets. The deceased has been identified as Ranjit Brijesh Kamal of Warje, originally from Uttar Pradesh. The police have registtered a case of causing death due to negligence and rash driving against Avinash Manohar Jogdand (27), who was riding the motorcycle.A policemen there said that between january and may they have collected atleast 30 lakhs fine from over 1500 triple seat riders.
So, the main strategy here is to reduce triple seat riding all over the world. Strict action has to be taken over them rather than just collecting fines.There are many ways of preventing injuries such as wearing helmets should be made strict all over the world and the ones sitting behind the rider should also be made to wear the helmet compulsorily so that atleast injuries can be prevented.Then the policemen should also take strict actions against fast driving and triple seat riding.A survey program should be conducted in a way to talk to the people about the accidents and how they can prevent them so that more and more accidents are reduced.Policemen should always be present in all areas to watch the fast riders especially in the signal areas to keep a watch on them and prevent rash driving.
3.In India, drunken driving is customary in commercial vehicle drivers. Private car owners and youngsters are also major players in the game. Driver fatigue is a very dangerous condition created when a person is suffering symptoms of fatigue while driving, often resulting from the hypnotic effect especially during nighttime driving either falling asleep at the wheel or so exhausted to make serious- and fatal-driving errors.
World's first RTA is supposed to have occurred in 1896. Everybody concerned at that time reported to have said, “this should never happen again.” But more than a century later, 1.2 million people were killed on roads every year and up to 50 million more are injured. For every one killed, injured, or disabled by RTA, there are countless others deeply affected by the cost of prolonged medical care, loss of a family bread winner, or the extra funds needed to care for the people with disabilities. RTA survivors, their families, friends, and other care givers often suffer adverse social, physical, and psychological effects. If the current trends continue, the number of people killed and injured on the world's roads will rise by more than 60% by 2020.Road deaths and injuries are preventable. A wide range of effective road safety interventions exist and a scientific system approach to road safety is essential to tackle the problem. This approach should address the traffic system as a whole and look into interactions between vehicle, road users, and road infrastructure to identify solution.
The following should be done to prevent accidents:
Well-maintained vehicles with good breaks, lighting, tyres etc. will reduce accidents.
Older vehicles and highly polluting vehicles should be phased out.
Vehicles should be provided with seat belts and other necessary safety provisions (like airbags).
Roads should be well maintained with frequent relaying of road surfaces and markings of road safety signs.
Provide proper footpaths for pedestrians and pedestrian crossings at intersections.
Provide separate lanes for slow-moving and fast-moving vehicles.
Roads and junctions should be wide and well lit so that visibility is good.
Rules for compulsory wearing of helmets by two wheelers and seat belts by four wheelers must be implemented.
Enforce traffic rules by the concerned authorities strictly.
Removal of stray animals like cattle and removal of encroachments on footpath and road margins will enable smooth flow of traffic.
Preventing haphazard parking of vehicles on busy roads and intersections to ensure free flow of traffic.
Governments, international agencies, civil society organizations, and private companies from more than 100 countries have launched the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 2020. The presidents and prime ministers of these countries are expressing their commitment and launching national plans for the Decade, which seeks to save 5 million lives over the 10-year period. India is also a committed partner in this campaign and on May 11 the event was launched with greater commitment to minimize road accidents.The Bill seeks to establish a National Road Safety and Traffic Management Board for the development and regulation of road safety, traffic management system, and safety standards in highway design and construction.
