Life is priceless
Road accidents have become perpetual lead news in Bangladesh. Every day we get the horrific news of road mishaps in the print and electronic media. Many valuable lives are lost in these road accidents. Actually, the highways have become death traps in our country and road accidents are occurring frequently on these highways. Reckless driving, overtaking, overloading, defective vehicles and dilapidated roads are mainly responsible for road accidents. We all should raise our voice to curb these accidents. The government should take pragmatic and effective measures to check road accidents. Traffic police as well as highway police can play a pivotal role here. The commuters should be more aware in this regard. They should not travel on the roof of the vehicles and incite the drivers to overtake other vehicles on the highways. Those who own private cars should be strict with their drivers. We all should keep in mind that life is more valuable than time.
