Road casualties

A large number of casualties on our roads can be attributed to rash driving and negligent riding by the ever-rising number of bikers. There is no rule in the traffic book that is not violated by bikers. 

Riding zigzag, jumping lanes, overloading, sana helmet, jumping traffic signals, tailing too close to bigger vehicles, overtaking from the wrong side, disregarding the rest of vehicular traffic and pedestrians, taking risky turns, refusing to give way to the following traffic, talking on mobile phones while speeding and carrying hazardous articles are some of the major violations committed by two-wheeler riders.

If only these riders observed restraint and followed traffic safety rules, the number of casualties on our roads could be drastically cut down.
