Set 1:Essay On Road Accidents
Road transport is very popular in India. Small towns, villages and big cities are well connected by roads in our country. It is very convenient and economic to travel by road. But the condition of roads is very poor in India. The condition worsens during the rainy season. The number of vehicles and commuters is increasing so fast that the existing network of roads is not sufficient. As a result, every day hundreds of fatal accidents take place on roads. There is a great loss of human and economic wealth.
The strain of traffic on the road is increasing day by day. Another problem is that a variety of vehicles are running on the roads here. For example trucks, cars, buses, tractors, scooters, tempos, bicycles, bullock carts, horse carriages, pedestrians, horses, cows, and donkeys. Some vehicles are too fast while some are too slow.
Overcrowding in buses is common in villages and cities. We can see a family of four traveling on a two-wheeler. As a result, serious accidents occur. Traffic rules are not strictly followed. The condition of the road is very bad. But the condition of vehicles is even worse. Old vehicles are continued to be used. They are not properly maintained. They emit a lot of smoke and pollute the environment. Because of the overburden of passengers, the vehicles and roads deteriorate.
Vehicles are parked anyhow. Shops, restaurants, and hotels are built in public places. There are big potholes on the roads. They cause hurdles in the traffic and accidents to occur. To prevent road accidents it is essential to make long-term as well as short-term plans. The number of roads should be increased. Old roads must be repaired and maintained regularly. The drivers must be properly trained. There should be separate lanes for slow vehicles. Vehicles should be checked for speed, maintenance, utility. Those who break traffic rules must be severely punished. All these precautions might reduce the number of traffic accidents.

In big cities accidents take place very often. We hear about road accidents or read about them in newspapers or even watch such sights on television.
Accidents very often result in loss of life and property. Most of these are caused by carelessness of the drivers or their failing to follow the traffic rules.
One evening my brother and I made up our minds to go to the Elite Cinema to see the movie “Chalte Chalte”. We walked fast down the crowded road so as not to be late for the beginning of the show. All of a sudden there was a loud noise. I saw a man being flung into the air and dropped with a thud on the pavement. He was hit by a car. The driver was going at a normal speed. A lorry, however, was coming in the opposite direction at a great speed. The driver of the car tried to avoid banging into the lorry by turning quickly to the side, but he lost control and crashed into a lamppost hitting a passerby at the same time.
The man was seriously injured on the head and face. He was bleeding from the nose and his leg was badly bruised.
Immediately a large crowd gathered and the police on duty had a difficult time controlling them. The wounded man was taken to the hospital when the ambulance arrived. He was given first-aid and declared out of danger.
The police took both the drivers to the police station and an FIR was made. The car driver was let off but the driver of the lorry was held back for further questioning.

Accidents are very common in big cities as there are many modes of transport and roads are becoming narrow and overcrowded. We hear of them and read about them in newspapers almost daily.
Such accidents result in loss of life and material. These are caused by carelessness of drivers and their ignorance and negligence of traffic rules.
Once my brother and I decided to see a movie at Golcha Cinema at Daryaganj in Delhi. As we were getting late for the show, we began walking fast along the crowded road. All of a sudden there was a loud noise.
I saw a man rolling on the ground. He had been knocked down by a car. The car driver was driving at normal speed. He saw a lorry coming from the opposite direction. It was being driven rashly.
Since the car driver feared a collision, he tried to turn his vehicle aside, but his clutch wire gave way and the machine got out of control. It ran into a passerby and hit the pavement.
The man was seriously wounded. He sustained injuries on the head and face. His nose was bleeding and one his legs was badly bruised. A crowd gathered on the spot. The wounded man was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Some people started abusing and hitting the car driver. Some one tried to convince them that it was not his fault. It was just an accident.
Luckily, the victim was declared out of danger. His wounds were dressed and he was advised rest in bed to get over the shock.
