The Impact of That Accident

Delhi roads are very unsafe for driving. Many people don’t follow traffic rules and get into trouble. People keep on changing the lanes when driving. Jumping of red light is very common, I myself see at least two or three people daily jumping the red light. People enter one way and as a result traffic jams happen on Delhi roads. Everyone in delhi is very irritated with delhi traffic jams.

People overtake without any horn or dipper and as a result accidents happen. Accidents on delhi roads have become very common and it’s all because people don’t follow traffic rules. People break traffic rules in front of traffic police also. The situation is very bad in delhi. In delhi, most of the traffic jams are because of people not following the traffic rules.

Accidents and traffic jams happen because people break traffic rules. A few years back I saw an accident which left a lifelong impact on my driving. I was travelling to my office early in the morning as some clients had to come for a meeting. I left on time and as I was crossing the flyover near the ashoka road near Connaught place in Delhi, I saw a portion of the flyover closed and police all around.

I went out from my car and saw two cars have met with an accident. I had never seen such an accident in my whole life, two cars have collided with eachother and all the passengers died in the accident. I asked one of the police officer that how the accident happened he told me that one of the two cars was coming from the wrong side and both cars collided with eachother. All the passengers in both the cars were dead. In the first car there was a family who was returning from a marriage and in the second car which was driving on the wrong side had two boys who didn’t had a valid license and were drunk.

I started to think that what wrong did the family did who was returning from the marriage. The mistake was of the boys who were drunk and driving on the wrong side but both had to face the consequences. This accident which I saw created a lifelong impact on my driving. Now, I always look around to see if any car is coming on the wrong side or not and only after I see this I make a move. I follow all the traffic rules even if I am in a hurry.

I think everyone should follow the traffic rules and should be alert on the rods. It may happen that you are driving correctly but because of others mistake you suffer.
