Road accidents can be prevented if necessary precautions are taken.

These are the some of the ways to prevent road accident.

1 Drive very carefully – do not be too much in a hurry.

2 Give considerations to other road users.

3 The government should repair roads once they are bad or damaged.

4 Check and repair your vehicle regularly.

5 Do not put your vehicle on the road without all necessary items like the fire extinguisher, spare tyre, jack, wheel spanner and caution sign.

 

6 Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while driving.

7 Government should educate drivers and other road users on how to work with the road safety corps.

8 Traffic officers like the road safety corps or traffic police should ensure people obey traffic laws, and correct or arrest offenders.

9 When you want to cross the road, look left, right and left again before crossing. Do not be in a hurry to cross.

 

10 When you are walking on the road, do not back the vehicles. Walk on the side of incoming vehicles. Keep left wherever the vehicles are keeping right.
