REASONS WHY MOST VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS SUSTAIN FATAL INJURY

    At the mere thought of accident, its almost certain that an injury will be sustained.. Most fatal accidents are caused by the victims themselves but the perspective of the masses in accident is that drivers are always at fault.    Myself have also been stocked by this ill thought that drivers are always at fault for any accident but my personal sentiment saved me as I looked and observed the happenings in our environment.. I got to know that most victims of accident have been unconsciously caught by sleep before the accident, not all become unconscious after the incident.In a case where a passenger sleeps off as soon as he or she board a vehicle,you can imagine how a totally relaxed person can struggle for survival..Of course everyone doesn't sleep when traveling as we have those who are scared of the unknown and those who are anxious to get to their destination, these are the conscious ones but most of them don't strife to survive first during an accident, they mostly put their treasures and other valuables first, 'oh what foolishness '.I don't know how many years its gonna take humans to understand that "it is only when you have life in you that you have the right to own a property"   For instance,I saw a man sleeping on an opened carrier of a truck,this man might be tired or maybe he could just feel like taking a nap buh definitely shouldn't be  on a moving truck which has its carrier loaded with tons of cements and blocks, if any accident should occur, this man is liable to sustain a fatal injury or worst still,death. As he is not conscious of his environment at the moment.   Another incident we all know about is the incident at the Lagos-Ibadan express way( 🇳🇬 NIGERIA)  , in a country where we don't have a seperated lane for tankers and other trailers to move, alertness and smartness is required. A tank filled with petrol tripped and fell, turning upside down, instead of deliberating on how to survive, they were trying to reverse in order to bring their cars to safety on an already trafficked road.At the long run, the tank leaked and the lane is on fire...The first step they should have taken(which is running far away from the scene) became their last step but its too late as they were all burnt beyond recognition. Now to the questions:  How many instances do I need to give?   How many signs and warnings do I have to make?  For how long will we pass all blames on the government for not construction good and tarred roads?   How many times are we going to pay dearly for our foolishness?   Its high time we woke up from this mess!!  Wake up!  Nigeria, just because he is called the driver does not give you the right to let your guard down, you can as well direct and control the driver as long as you know the basics of driving.. Don't leave it all to him, he's not an Island of knowledge neither is he the Mr perfect that has never and will never exist.    Be watchful   Be careful   Be conscious  Together we can make our society a safe place to be.
