The most important thing is traffic accidents that the government still finds out resolutions and makes measure to reduce and to avoid them because the increasing number of deaths and injuries are caused by drink-driving, careless driving, excessive speed and driving motorbikes without safety helmets…etc..

The most important thing is traffic accidents that the government still finds out resolutions and makes measure to reduce and to avoid them because the increasing number of deaths and injuries are caused by drink-driving, careless driving, excessive speed and driving motorbikes without safety helmets…etc..

Firstly, drink-driving and addict drug make a lot of trouble destroy public and private properties because they lose their control. Sometimes, it reinforces them to become too brave and to get into argument with other drivers and neighbors. In addition, using drug can also cause drivers out of control.

Secondly, the government requires all citizens to respect the traffic laws such as not driving excessive speed and obtaining the driver-license. In spite of having the license, some of drivers still disobey the rules or drive aggressively like racing cars illegally on the public ways. And some of their vehicles have no license plates; therefore, absolutely they are faced with dangers, particularly being easy to kill and to injure somebody or themselves.

Thirdly, driving carelessly is possible to occur everywhere and every time. The traffic policies don’t permit drivers to talk on phone while driving and to overload commuters and luggage. For example, most of taxi drivers need money more than passenger safety, and they don’t also respect the traffic lights and signs.

Lastly, all the motorbike drivers have to wear safety helmets and to get mirror; in contrary, some consumers think that wearing helmets is not pretty, not able to show hairstyle and make their hair have problem like bald head, curly hair or dying hair. All of actions are different from government entirely because the traffic police really fine 3000 riels or 4000 riels for driving without wearing helmets and installing mirror respectively.

In conclusion, all citizens have to obey the traffic laws because driving neglectfully, excessive speed, drink-driving, not wearing helmets, not respect traffic lights are easy  to face with fatal accident all the time. Moreover, we all follow the rules; therefore, we participate in helping the government to develop our country.

Above essay, it doesn’t mean enough to provide to all people; however it is a little bit recommendation in order to contribute to reducing traffic accidents as well as avoiding damages of public and private properties.
