Road Safety Speech – 4

"Good Morning Respected Principal, Respected Teachers and My Dear Students!

Today, this special assembly has been organized for an important reason regarding vehicles that students are using these days. As a teacher in this school, I feel that it’s my duty to think about your safety when it is related with school.

Yesterday, I saw a student who was on his bike and riding ruthlessly throughout the road. It could be dangerous for anyone who was using the road or for himself. Ruthless driving is one of the main causes of the road accidents. There are many other cases when we have seen the students who did not even have a driving license were driving recklessly on the road and which is quite shameful for us because it is a disobedience of the rules of our country.

If we talk about road safety, then it can be only possible when we will follow the rules and regulations of the road safety. The rules differ from two wheelers to four wheelers. If you are on two wheelers, then it is important to wear a helmet and drive in a limited speed. If you are on four wheelers, then it is important to wear seatbelt and of course maintaining the speed limit. One of the main causes of road crashes accidents are due to drink and drive. The accidents that happen due to drink and drive or harsh driving are the cause of driver’s carelessness and lack of strictness on the roads.

According to the report of Global status given on 2013, more than two lakh people are killed in road accidents in India every year. Around one hundred people are killed and thousands of people get injured in road accidents everyday due to the carelessness of drivers. One reason for road crashes could be the condition of the roads. In India, there are many roads that are not in a good condition and became dangerous for driving. Especially in rainy season, the condition of the roads became poor and they get cracks in it. The poor condition of roads is still a big tragedy of India.

It creates problems while driving and sometimes the vehicle gets stuck on the road due to cracks and water. There are very few places in India where these problems do not happen or roads remains in a good condition during rainy season. The cause of this problem is the height of corruption in India. Breaking traffic rules and safety rules are normal because it just needs some money to get out of the trouble and that is it. Tripling on bikes are prohibited for the purpose of safety but still we can see many people doing the same freely because there is no fear in the mind of the people because they know that all they need is just money.

This problem will get deeper as we go through it and thus it needs a solution. It needs the contribution of everyone but not only of the government. I hope that from now every student as well as other people will remember this that safety is first. On this note, I would like to conclude my speech and extend special thanks to our honorable principal for giving me this opportunity.

Thank you!
