Make A New Year Resolution 'NO MORE ROAD ACCIDENTS !'

The New Year is one of the few universally celebrated events, connecting people across borders in a shared moment of hope and happiness. New Year’s Eve parties are vibrant, happy celebrations, that bring people together to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the new one. However, New Year’s Eve is also a time for looking back at the past year, acknowledging achievements and learning from failures.

It is time for people to set goals and make resolutions for the future. Making New Year's resolutions and sticking to them seems ‘Mission Impossible’. Hence, make resolutions that set realistic goals, to be meaningful, otherwise they become meaningless.

One serious issue that affects people at large, on a daily basis, is Road Accidents. Recently the Union Road Transport Minister shared some staggering and disturbing statistics in the Lok Sabha, on road deaths. Every fourth crash in Delhi claims a life! Bengaluru, Jaipur and Kanpur registered the second, third and fourth highest number of road fatalities. Delhi police released data showing, that a mammoth 83% share of the road deaths was borne by the vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists and two wheeler riders.

The key reason for these fatalities was Over speeding and drunken driving. Most of these crashes are preventable, if drivers become responsible and vigilant.

In the excitement of the New Eve parties, Roadcast exhorts all vehicle drivers to pause for a moment and make some New Year resolutions.

  • I will not drive in an inebriated condition
  • I will not drive recklessly, no over speeding
  • I will not jump red lights at traffic signals
  • I will obey all traffic rules
  • I will always be cognizant of Road safety etiquette

Technology has revolutionized car safety by incorporating advanced systems that prevent road accidents, reduce risks, and ensure overall safety for drivers and passengers. Roadcast is at the forefront of such technology and advises vehicle owners/drivers to adopt the same.
