Solution
The Importance of following Traffic Rules By Kishore/Kavitha.
The traffic rules are designed to protect all of us. By knowing the rules of the road, practicing driving skills, and generally taking care as a road user, you help play a vital role in preventing a crash. You will be making road safety policies more effective. Recently, while returning home from school, I was knocked down by a speeding motorcycle. I was very careful in crossing the road. Yet I was knocked down by the reckless driving and speeding of a motorcycle. I escaped with minor injuries. I am writing this article to bring to your notice the increasing number of road accidents due to reckless driving. We have to stress the importance of following traffic rules.
People should follow the road signals. These signs have got a very important role to play in the traffic system and they are made for the safety of the people. People should not use their cell phones while driving or at the pedestrians crossing. We should always keep to the left, allowing the vehicles from the opposite direction to pass. We should also give way to traffic on your right, especially at road junctions and roundabout. While turning either left or right, give way to vehicles going straight. While turning left keep to the left side and turn close to the left side of the road to which you enter. These are some of the traffic safety rules which I know. I humbly request you to publish this article in your column, so that the public will be aware of it. Thus the best drivers are aware that they must beware!
