Types of mistakes by drivers/commuters on roads
There could be three kind of human errors on the roads
Type one:
Drivers make mistake but OTHERS on roads sufferer most of
the times e.g. Truck & Bus drivers and cars to some extend
Possible Reason: ? A feeling of security for accidents may be
responsible for careless driving
How to deal: They need more punishment
Type Two:
Commuters/drivers making mistake and they
THEMSELVES are the sufferers most of the times
e.g. Vulnerable Road Users :pedestrians,
cyclists,
motorized two wheelers, etc]
So VRUs suffer in both ways
Fact: 70% deaths belong to this group.
Thus this group needs maximum protection
How to deal: Mainly by education/awareness
Milder Punishment

NO Role
Our Misconceptions :
It is the price we pay for Technological Advancement
Automobile is a machine and it is a price ----
Our Misconceptions .
Sometimes you have to take risks
Communal Violence
Terrorism
Murder Mysteries
Radio:
A person while driving a vehicle is more susceptible to
suggestions regarding the road safety.
So an FM radio can play an important role enlightening the
public regarding traffic safety.
Instead of simple advertisements, we should make some more
interesting programs on road safety.
Emotional Compulsion : by Ad
Wives & children on special occasions,
instead of gifts, can ask for Commitments
like for speed limit, use of seat belt or helmet

ACCIDENT CAPITAL
Temporary reduction
Absolute Reduction
Promote Cycling
Restrict entry to congested zone
or congestion charges
Registration after parking proof
Better management of peak hours
traffic, e.g office, market, school,etc

Thus:
Now time has come when we need measures to
control absolute number of vehicles in India.
Present Status
At present trauma care is in infancy in India. In a
country where health budget is 1-2% of GDP,
good trauma care on roads is a distant dream
for at least next 10-20 years.
In India, we have world class medical facilities for most
other diseases, though this quality care may not be
accessible to all.
However, trauma care for accident victims is still
not available to even those who can afford it on their
own.

Police
Villagers, etc.
We dont expect trained paramedics or an ambulance
immediately [within few minutes] so role of people just
mentioned or first responders, even if they are not
trained, cannot be overemphasized.

[II] Transportation of
Victim to Hospital
The next course of action is transport of victim from
accident site to an appropriate nearby hospital.
Primary Care
Hospital
Secondary Care
Hospital
Tertiary Care
Hospital
www.tsunamionroads.org
During Transport
Be in touch with hospital
If the ambulance team is in contact with a hospital, it
can inform them well in advance about the specialists
who would be needed.
Even blood grouping can be done on the way so that
the particular blood group can be arranged in advance.

[2] Busy? Have no time? Probably this class believes time is money
[3] Car seats may be spoiled? Some of them love the materialistic
things more than humanity
Should we believe that education makes our brains better at the cost of
our hearts? Or it makes us more practical and less emotional in making
day to day decisions.
Suggestion:
We should start some awards for
good
peoples who are coming forwards to rescue.
For 10-20 awards like that of bravery, etc

Very soon others will follow you and - - - - very soon it will become a culture in society to
help such victims
It is a UNIDIRECTIONAL flow
of charity.
you never expect any thing in
return except blessings.
This is a country
Where a millionaire can buy an IPL
cricket team at 3300 crores within 3
minutes!
This is a country
where the rich do not hesitate to
donate bags of gold and
jewellery for construction of a
temple.
This is a country
Where a person lives in the most
expensive house of the world

summary
It is not necessary we should look for all new
suggestions. It is quite possible that the suggestions /
laws/ guidelines already existing there but there is need to
reinvent or re evaluate them and implement with stronger
will, faith and intensity.
The two most urgent issues that need to be addressed :
1. Change in the attitude of citizens, society and the next
generation.
2. Traffic science as a subject in schools
3. Extend role of traffic police
4. Better role of Ambulance care.
5. . Road safety manuals with vehicles
6. Role of electronic media
7. address alarming number of vehicles in big cities.
