Why There Is Road Accident

“Observe traffic rules and violation”. Throughout Southeast Asia and even in the entire world this is what people often heard and see in the television, in radio and in the streets, to avoid car and other road accidents. This regulation is observed especially in other countries like California. Here in this place if you will catch disobeying traffic rules , you will be in cell for one year or above, but in the Philippines for instance, some of the drivers didn’t follow traffic rules and regulation. This is because some of the traffic enforcers can be paid by money that makes the country road prone to accidents. Even if there are traffic rules and regulation why is it that there are still road accidents especially in Manila- the center of trade and industry here in the Philippines?
The first and most common reason why there is road accident is the attitude of the drivers. There being undisciplined towards traffic rules and regulation. Some of the driver’s public and even private vehicles didn’t observe traffic regulations. For instance, there is a sign saying “ no loading and unloading”, instead of obeying most of the drivers didn’t follow this rule especially when there is no traffic enforcer that is assigned in that particular area. They didn’t bother to follow the rules even if they saw, read and understand what it is. Just like what happen to Ebarles Jr. that was killed because of simple traffic incident.
The second reason why there’s road accident is because of money. Some of the drivers’ especially public utility vehicles and taxis are after of the money they will earn for that day for their family expenses. To those drivers that there family only depended to them, they will do anything just to earn money out of driving so fast that sometimes resulted to accidents. They race in the streets to pick more passengers since the more passengers they will get the more money they will earn.
The third reason why there are road accidents is because of crazy drivers. They didn’t think if they will cause an accident or even they will kill innocent people. For them the most important thing to do is to race on the streets. This is most likely to happen in buses and jeepney that didn’t follow traffic rules and regulations which states that there should be specific distance a vehicle will travel for a particular time.
There are other reasons why there are road accidents but these are the most common among the others. As mentioned above, the undisciplined drivers may got killed or they will the one who killed innocent people. Drivers that is only after of money without considering traffic rules is also prone to road accidents and causes street incidents. However, the shattered driver’s wants only to race their car in the streets also cause traffic accidents that lead to someone’s life to death.

  2. From bribery to plain stupidity, road accidents are rather becoming inevitable. Though drivers are mostly to be blame by such situations, jay walkers and "blind" traffic enforcers still share part. Good to share your thoughts about this topic, Berns.

  5. You’re right, some of our traffic enforcers nowadays were already doing some kinda “magic” (corruption).
