Unsafe roads
To say that the roads are unsafe in Bangladesh would just be stating the obvious. Of course, despite all precautions accident will occur. The authorities can only try their best to minimize them. The answer to the question whether they are doing so is unfortunately in the negative. Rash driving is common here. More dangerously it is alleged that it is the helpers who often drive the public vehicles, instead of the actual drivers. However, to blame the drivers and traffic police for all accidents would not be wise. Unfortunately, many pedestrians lose their lives every year because of callous way of crossing the roads and lack of knowledge about traffic rules. The pedestrians must also be educated about traffic rules. The roads must be made safer and, ideally, the pedestrians should get the highest priority.
