This is a subject quite close to my heart. Trauma is called an accident in India often meaning this was unexpected. this gives a implication that one can feel sorry for the event and the persons involved in the accident. This is quite the opposite to what is true. most trauma incidents and if not all can be predicted and preventable. the western countries have worked on this so well that most accidents are prevented.
the problem in a country like India had always been traffic awareness or the lack of it. however the present scenario of lack of speed awarenss complicates in a significant way. the same lack of traffic awareness with low speed and high speed have different implications with the resultant severity of injury quite high.
this is recognised in a country like UK where the stress on speed awareness is given a huge thrust on public education even when the traffic awareness is high
I will continue in my next blog and elaborate

Some points i noticed
1. They dont inform with signals to others who come behind that he/she is about to take right or turn, instead they just take right and vehicle comes behind need to apply a sudden break. Sometimes this might fail leading to an accident.
2. People keep talking while driving two wheelers and cars. This is very dangerous.
3. People are found mostly driving in a hurry. This is very dangerous.
4. Be cool on traffic and respect others. Give way to get way.
