The pain of a road accident

 The pain of a road accident

As soon as the road is called, it seems that it is never finished. It becomes double, it becomes square, but it seems that the walking path is found. Pathways and goretos gradually changed into roads.

When I was young, Dhulamme used to go by jeep two or three times a day on the newly opened road. We used to cry when the jeep will come. We used to jump behind the jeep and enjoy it. We were children, we were happy.

We used to enjoy winning the fastest jump since we were children. Riding the jeep was like a dream. The incident of riding the bus for the first time comes before the eyes. I thought - 'Those trees will also walk along with the bus!' I asked my sister in surprise. Didi laughed and said, "It's just like that."

Buses were added gradually. It was easy to board a bus. Roads began to widen slowly. Dhulamme road started to be black. Even later, vehicles started moving on the road. It has been years since the road was disturbed in the name of road widening. It has become necessary to carry household equipment and even people. There is a lot of traffic, there is no monitoring anywhere, no one. Whichever way you walk. There is no measurement and monitoring of speed, efficiency, or driver's license.

Every day we hear the news of road accidents and deaths have become more common. There is a difference between getting sick and dying in old age and dying due to a vehicle accident. There is no life in a few seconds or minutes. He thinks that he will do this in a few moments, but an accident ends his life in a few seconds or minutes.

In Nepal, why and how and what caused the accident is another matter. We are in a hurry to pay our respects. I don't know why the state system is becoming so weak.

End of a life! Ah, even when you remember it, you get a whining sound. But the parent state of the people has no time to show interest in that direction. Perhaps the state does not accept its weakness.

No one even imagines that there will be an accident, but it happens. As soon as the accident happens, neither the ambulance nor the police arrive. The moving breath, the beating heart, the ambulance closes.

There is no account of how long it will take until he is taken to the hospital. Even now, people have become so desensitized that after an accident, instead of providing the necessary assistance, they take photos and videos and watch Ramita.

Hare, what to do! This is the era of viral and like comments. We don't know why our consciousness is weakening like this.

The accident happens in a few seconds. If this had not been done, if this had been done, after the accident, people are thinking about it. Even if you slip on a slippery road, an accident will happen. The reason is common, we have to be very careful.

own experience

One day I (Dr. Savita) and my husband met with a serious road accident on the bridge over the busy Seti river at Prithvi Chowk while going to office. The Bolero, whose brakes had failed, collided first with the truck from the other direction and rammed into our vehicle on the other lane.

When the speeding car came right in front of me, I didn't think I was alive. Now the only thing that came to my mind was that I was going to die by bolero. But thanks to the 'air bag' opening, we survived.

Nothing but death came to my mind at that time, but in such a situation, if anything can save you, it is the 'air bag'. When approaching death, the mind cannot think how to escape. There will only be zero and emptiness.

The importance of caution, prevention and safety equipment should not be ignored, it is felt most only after experiencing it. Ignoring those matters means causing an accident and prematurely ending one's life.

Premature death is a terrible condition. For the dying person and also for the family.

High speed, driving under the influence of alcohol, not paying attention to the condition of the vehicle, driving by an incompetent driver are considered to be the main causes of accidents. Apart from that, ambulance not coming on time after the accident, delay in taking to the hospital, road condition not being good, lack of proper monitoring are weaknesses of the state. Due to these weaknesses, people are dying prematurely due to road accidents.

According to Nepal Police data, 8,678 people have lost their lives in road accidents in the last three and a half years alone. Most of those who lost their lives are in the age group of 16 to 25 years. During this period, 2,178 people aged 16-25 years lost their lives.

What to do to reduce the damage?

It is necessary to properly measure the speed of the vehicle, stop driving the vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and only licensed drivers should drive the vehicle.

There should be an end to the drive to drive faster. It is said that if you go slowly you will surely get there, if you do it fast it cannot be said.

Accidents are fate, but not preventable. Even the general standards accepted by the international world and implemented in many places have not been followed on our roads.

Road classification according to the type of vehicle can also be a way to reduce traffic accidents. In our country, all four-wheeled vehicles, from motorcycles, scooters, move in one lane.

It is not possible to talk about the suffering caused by crossing the road. There is no zebra crossing, even if there is one, the vehicle stops and does not allow pedestrians to cross the road. Who should be informed after the accident? An ambulance will come immediately How to arrange? For this, it is necessary for the local level to have an emergency hotline.

Aiming at all road accidents, the municipality should provide fully equipped ambulances throughout its area.
