It may also be mentioned that the number of road accidents is rising day by day. Every day more than 80% of people are getting injured in India. It is a major problem in India. It is observed that most of the accidents occur among teenagers. Though the government has set many rules regarding road safety, yet most of them are of no use. The reasons behind all such accidents are many and varying.
Most of the teenagers get driving licences through fraudulent means – by producing false documents and making undue payments to government officials, especially of the transport department.
Our respected Prime Minister is trying to make our country a bit progressive in every sector through different projects like ‘Making India, Digital India’. However, it is of no use when many youths, as well as senior citizens, don’t give importance to it.
