How can road accidents best be reduced?
Safe driving apps
Find the right safety app to use with your hands-free device to avoid distractions, maintain a safe speed, and get emergency help when you need it.
Apps used with hands-free devices can monitor distractions, protect young drivers, call for help when needed, and prevent speeding.
For example, we can use any applications like drivemode. Drivemode is an android app that includes a voice-control option for streamlined interfacing with your favorite applications, as well as simple swipe or tap functionality
Drive Mode can be setup to launch when you start driving. The app will ignore calls and messages in “Do Not Disturb” mode, send text message auto replies, or you can choose to reply to calls and messages using seamless voice commands, and much more.
Road safety awareness
Improving the effectiveness of road safety campaigns. Road safety campaigns can be defined as purposeful attempts to inform, persuade, and motivate a population (or sub-group of a population) to change its attitudes and/or behaviours to improve road safety, using organised communications involving specific media channels within a given time period
It can have many purposes, such as informing the public of new or little known traffic rules, increasing problem awareness or convincing people to refrain from hazardous behaviours and adopting safe ones instead.
mobile phone usage
Almost everyday we heard people died in car because they use cell phones while driving.
Some of the drivers can be distract with the phone conversations. It can cause the drivers to not focus on the road.
As a responsible driver, they need to silent their phone or maybe keep their phone away from them.
For example, when we driving, we need to keep our phone silent so we can focus on road.
maintain road conditions
It is very important to all the drivers to increase people's safety when they are on the road.
Poor road conditions can lead to more than just a bumpy ride. Roads can deteriorate to the level where they become dangerous.
This includes potholes, uneven road surfaces, broken concrete, exposed rebar, sinkholes, and road cracks. If a driver hits a large pothole, it could burst the tire causing the vehicle to veer into another lane, colliding with another vehicle
Stricter traffic law enforcement
People will feel scared to break the rules because they will be fined, summoned or imprisoned if they violate the rules
Enforcement of traffic laws improves compliance and reduces road traffic fatalities, injuries and related socioeconomic costs.
Most of the drivers nowadays ignore these traffic rules because they know they can get away with it. They know it's unlikely they'll even get caught or pulled over in the first plac
take good care of their vehicle
Make sure that our vehicles are in the good condition before we drive.
It is important to make sre that all the vehicle are in good condition because it can help to avoid road accident.
For example, we need to check our tyre pressure regularly. Doing this every couple of weeks helps keep you safe as cars handle better with correctly inflated tires, and there’s less risk of a blowout.
We also need to keep it clean. Whether you do it yourself or take it to a car wash/valet service outlet you should clean both the outside and inside regularly.
