Road accident

Every time we step out of our house and head for work, school or the shopping mall, we walk through death risk zones and technical hazards. These death risk zones and technical hazards come in many ways and are inevitable. One common death risk zone is the long stretch of tarmalt we call the road. The road seems harmless when it's empty. A heavy fast- moving expressway traffic is a big death risk zone. Why can deaths occur on the road? One reason is careless pedestrians. Another reason is vehicles going too fast that they can't react and stop on time. Road accidents have to be the most common form of deadly accident in Singapore, compared to drownings and work accidents. It is ironic that the road, an invention by man to facilitate transport can also be a threat to his own life. A car at 80km/h can kill. It will just ram any human being and kill on the spot.
