Non-motorists are always at highest risk of being injured or killed on the road due to increasing number of traffic on roads. Recent years have observed rapid motorization, urbanization, industrialization, migration and other changes consequent to globalization and opening economic policies of successive governments in India. An associated effect of these fluctuations is the increasing road crashes and deaths due to lack of safety policies and programmes (G.Gururaj, 2014). Road accidents are increasing day by day and India has been accounted as highest number of fatal accidents in the world. Fatal accidents in India have increased to 5% to 1.46 lakh in 2015. This number translated that every day 400 people dies or one person dies in every 3.6 min due to road accidents. There are some states where road fatalities have declined. Assam showed maximum decline in fatal road accidents (India, 2016). These numbers are just the reported numbers but there are many more people who get injured or killed every day. Situation in...

...Witness of a Road Accident In a city like Bombay, which has more than four hundred thousand vehicles and a few million pedestrians on the roads, many accidents take place every day. But tragic as and accident is, involving loss of life. Things are made worse by the fact that every accident is followed by time-consuming and expensive lawsuits. The polish are handicapped in this matter by the fact that very few people come forward as witnesses. They are either afraid of getting involved or simply indifferent. Let me tell you about the time my friend Nick and I witnessed a road accident and got involved. We were on our way one evening to the beach and for this purpose we had to walk down through crowded market. It was winter and foggy weather. Suddenly we heard the squeal of brakes and saw a car, clearly out of control, skidding on the road. The young man who was driving the vehicle was struggling with the steering wheel but the car was moving sideways towards market. We saw the car smash straight into a cyclist who was coming from the market and flung against a lamppost. He fell unconscious on the pavement and was bleeding profusely from a gash above the forehead. Nick ran in search of a policeman and to phone for an ambulance while I tried to render some first-aid to the bleeding man. Meanwhile a large crowd had collected round the victim of the accident and the car. The driver was pulled out and the public began to beat him up. Fortunately for him...

...rates from road accidents since the first recorded motor vehicle accident in 1924 and why it is still a public health issue today in 2014 Changes which have occurred in Australia through public health interventions to improve injury and mortality rates from road accidents since the first recorded motor vehicle accident in 1924 and why it is still a public health issue today in 2014 Since the creation of the first modern automobile in 1886, injury and fatality rates were bound to occur from car accidents due to the increase of the car owner population on our roads. Australia began recording motor vehicle accidents as of 19241 and since then there have been over 180,0002 deaths from road accidents with the greater impact being on younger age groups and individuals in the most economically productive age groups.1 With the fatality rate of road accidents at an all time high in the 1970’s with a total of 3,798 deaths in 1970, the annual road toll has significantly decreased to a total of 1,193 in 2013.2 Once it was discovered that alcohol consumption, travelling at high speeds and the non-use of restraints were major causes of deaths and severe injuries in road accidents, serious action was taken which lead to the establishment of mandatory seat belts in 1973, a blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 in 1992 along with random breath testing in every state by 1988 and national maximum speed limit of 110km/h in 1992.1 Although these establishments are major factors in the decrease of road accidents...

...Introduction Cognitive psychology contacts with mental processes such as memory, researches have indicated that his particular cognitive process is not an exact replica of experiences, but is reconstructive. In light of this new research, experiments have tested and shown that memory may be influenced by certain units of knowledge that we have about frequently encountered people, objects or situations called “schemas.” The Schema Theory suggest that all new information interlinks withhold information represented in a schema and can influence memory. Bartlett Developed the Schema theory, which eventually became crucial in understanding how reconstructive memory works and the reliability of eyewitness testimony. He suggested that how a person remembers an event is subject to change depending on the person's cultural background and what values they were taught. Therefore, when a person remembers an event, any missing piece of information regarding that event is filled up based on their schema. He tested this in his famous „War of The Ghosts‟ experiment. This was supported by Allport and Postman, in 1947, which aimed to test the reliability of memory and the effect a person's schema has on their interpretation of an event. Loftus and Palmer Tested their hypothesis that language can alter reconstructive memory in an eyewitness testimony. Their aim was to show that leading questions can alter memory depending on its phrasing. Loftus and Palmer formed an opportunity sample...

Although, not everybody who uses their cell phone while driving has been or will be in an accident, but an alarming number of people who were involved in automobile accidents have been reported to have been using a cell phone while driving. Because of the increased number of traffic accidents caused by cell phones, it can be show that cell phone use should be banned while driving do to the risk of getting a ticket, people get distracted while they are texting and dialing a phone number and maybe hands free headset should be banned as well.

...Drunk driving and devising ways to prevent it have been a long standing issue in our society, and rightfully so. However, there are individuals far worse dangerous to have behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. As reported in the American Journal of Public Health, a journal dedicated to the publication of original work in research, research methods, and program evaluation in the field of public health, Dr. Fernando Wilson and Jim Stimpson, in collaboration with the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), affirm that a person that is texting while driving is 23 times more likely to be involved in a car crash than a drunk driver (2010). Between 2005 and 2008, distracted driving fatalities increased more than 28% nationwide (Stimpson & Watson, 2010). Driving while texting has become an undeniable danger as these figures support. It is for this reason, as reported in the Dallas Morning News, that Texas lawmakers recently passed a bill, 124-16, to ban texting while driving (Hoppe, 2011). This bill has now gone on to seek much needed approval from the governor, Rick Perry. With so much support coming from the Texas House, it is expected for the bill to pass. However, one must keep in mind that Governor Perry has a penchant for vetoing bills, as was evident back in 2000 when he vetoed a record 83 bills in one day (CBSDFW.com, 2011). As of right now the state of Texas currently has a no-texting policy for licensed drivers under the age of 18 and anyone driving in a school zone (Hoppe...

...period life will be better to raise driving age because young drivers are the main cause of road deaths. In addition, if driving age is 21, number of deaths will decrease and roads become safer. Another reason, teens text and drive and put themselves and other people in danger. Teens are increasing car wrecks. They are also increasing their injuries. Teens don't know much of the consequences that come with driving. They party and drink, and when they drive drunk, that's another wreck and death waiting to happen. Teenagers can simply be distracted by lots of things while driving such as, loud music and talking in phones etc. Moreover they are not fully developed especially the frontal lobe part of their brain which is the part responsible for weighing risks and making judgments. If the driving age was raised thousands of innocent soles would be saved. In conclusion, Young driver’s especially male drivers are likely to overestimate their ability to drive at faster speed that’s leads to major accident to reduce this only strategy to raise the age of driving license. Teen drivers are every adult’s nightmare. The driving age at the moment is 17 it should be raised to 21 to overcome some of consequences and risk factors in teenagers. With lack of experience and maturity, both parents and fellow drivers are frightened to share the road with adolescents. Moreover, the statistics of accidents show the different rates of young drivers between the age 16 and 19. Young teenagers are effortlessly...

The elderly victim could have been someones parent, friend, or sibling who did not deserve a fatal ending to their life. A similar story, involved a young 34-year-old woman who received a prison sentencing of 10 years with a $25,000 fine for sending a text message while driving that could not wait, in result, crashed and killed her daughter and two nieces all who were in the same car. That women will serve her sentencing but will never be able to bring back her loved ones back from the accident. The constant reminders of roadway accidents ending in tragedy, such as those police reports, are widely spread across our nation.
