Despite improvements in vehicle technology, there are still large numbers of road accidents. Explain some of the causes of these accidents and suggest some measures that could be taken to address the problem.

The progress made in the automotive industry is astonishing.

However

, a large number of road

accidents

is still a matter of concern, and certain measures must be taken by the government to resolve

this

problem.

First

and foremost, is the usage of cell phones. Messaging or talking while driving draws the attention of drivers and prevent them from reacting quickly to the collisions or hindrances on the way since it takes a while to respond, and human being is often unable to do several tasks at once.

For example

, more than 50% of the road

accidents

in Kazakhstan are caused by neglecting the

traffic

regulations and not paying enough attention to driving a vehicle,

this

means, chauffeurs do get distracted easily and do not take seriously the laws and regulations enough. The

second

issue is an overloaded

work

schedule, due to the inflation in our country and the valuelessness of the national currency – tenge, people have to

work

for long hours or take an extra night shift to make money, which is sufficient for living and provision,

also

, employers often load the employees with tons of

work

, and

this

leads to extreme fatigue.

This

means sleepy workers tend to easily fall asleep in the driveway, resulting in horrendous vehicle blasts. The possible ways to tackle the problem of

traffic

accidents

are the

next

: tightening the

traffic

law, putting high fines to avoid disregard for the life of motorists and their own and disrespect for regulations.

Secondly

, employers and the government must adjust and alleviate intense

work

schedules to prevent workers from being utterly exhausted and falling asleep in driveways. In conclusion, having sophisticated technology is of no use, taking into account the other factors that affect road

traffic

and the

accidents

that take place on roads, which need immediate negotiation, people should pay more attention to

traffic

rules and respect the surrounding ones.
