So
many accidents are occurring on our roads daily
that we all seem immune to the possible danger
and resulting pain that many of them cause.
We behave as if it is the natural consequence
of vehicular travel. Not so. There are rules
and regulations which are put in place to safeguard
the public from these frequent incidences but
if we, drivers, passengers and pedestrians do
not take them seriously then all we end up with
is carnage.
The laws of the road should not be taken lightly,
and possibly stricter, heavier penalties for
breaking these laws should be required.
Possibly, there needs to be more education on
defensive driving and about the responsibility
of those who traverse our roadways; then again,
this has already been done over and over again.
What’s next? Maybe if some offenders’
licenses are taken away for lengthy periods
then drivers may begin to pay attention. Really,
that might also kill two birds with one stone.
Less careless drivers and less traffic on the
roads.

What
else can we do to eliminate the number of accidents
on our roads? There is a law against driving
without seatbelts which is vigorously enforced
not only in St. Lucia but internationally. Everyone
is aware of the possible dangers of driving
or being a passenger without wearing a seatbelt.
