Road safety

These days the issue of road safety is a much talked about one. The media--both the electronic and the print--has relentlessly drawn our attention to the topic. As we open the daily newspapers we are bombarded with the news of road accidents which are often fatal. It seems, we are no longer shocked by the news of death on the highways. In some cases, it is reckless driving that causes accidents. Of late, the communications minister commented that education is not necessary to qualify as drivers. He also said that anyone who can identify a cow or a goat is eligible to drive a motor vehicle! He is ready to give driving licence to anyone. It is time the authorities did something concrete to ensure road safety. The ministers at the helm can not get away with silly comments.
