Another Statistics on the Road

Yesterday on my way back from Bandar, I saw a couple of vehicular self-accidents along the highway. It was raining heavily. I dreaded to see those lovely cars ending up severely damaged. Normally in accidents like these when people are asked what had happened, the common answer is that the road was slippery and dangerous. One would hardly hear anybody admitting that they were driving too fast on a rainy day in a road that is known to have puddles and slippery spots. There is nothing we can do about the road, so best thing is for everybody to take care of themselves and their cars and to drive even more carefully.

The other thing is the bad habit of not switching on headlamp during heavy rains. The same thing also applies when it is getting dark during dawn or early dusk. Some people reckoned that by switching on their car's headlamp it wasted their car battery life. Some even claim that they have a pair of sharp eyes and don't see the need to switch on the car's lights to see ahead of them. Well, they might have a pair of hawk's eyes, but most other road users do not. Please help them to see your cars before they accidentally hit you.
