How many of us can say that they haven’t been involved in a road accident? Hardly anyone. Even worse, how many of us have been involved in multiple road accidents? Surprisingly, many of us.
With a rising population and new credit schemes, road traffic has swollen phenomenally. However it has not been accompanied with a corresponding rise in safety measures. According to latest statistics, 45,000 people are injured and 20,000 people die from road accidents annually in Pakistan. It is common to see underage drivers driving precariously in the plying traffic of the cities’ busiest districts. Of those who do happen to carry a license, most have by-passed the legal method of acquiring one with the help of contacts.
