BY:GAZAL BHATNAGAR, VIDHYARTHI DARPAN

Q.1) What is a road accident?

Ans:) A road accident is an incident involving at least one vehicle that happens on a public transport road where a person is injured or killed.

सड़क दुर्घटना एक ऐसी घटना है जिसमें कम से कम एक वाहन शामिल होता है जो एक सार्वजनिक परिवहन सड़क पर होता है जहां एक व्यक्ति घायल हो जाता है या मारा जाता है।

Q.2) What is meant by road safety?

Ans:) Road safety is the protection of persons from road injuries or incidents requiring various procedures and interventions to be taken by road users to avoid serious injury and death as a result of an accident. It is the prevention and protection of street mishaps through the use of all street security measures which safeguards individuals on the road.

सड़क सुरक्षा, सड़क दुर्घटना या किसी दुर्घटना के परिणामस्वरूप होने वाली गंभीर चोट और मृत्यु से बचने के लिए सड़क उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा की जाने वाली विभिन्न प्रक्रियाओं और हस्तक्षेपों की आवश्यकता वाली घटनाओं से व्यक्तियों की सुरक्षा है। यह सभी सड़क सुरक्षा उपायों के उपयोग के माध्यम से सड़क दुर्घटनाओं की रोकथाम और सुरक्षा है जो सड़क पर व्यक्तियों की सुरक्षा करता है।

Q.3) How does the violation of traffic rules lead to accidents?

Ans:) The main cause of accidents and injuries is due to human mistakes such as over-speed, driving during intoxicated, distractions, red light jumping, ignoring protective equipment such as seat belts and helmets, and excessive overtaking.

दुर्घटनाओं और चोटों का मुख्य कारण मानवीय गलतियों के कारण होता है जैसे ओवर-स्पीड, नशे के दौरान ड्राइविंग, ध्यान भटकाना, रेड लाइट जंप करना, सीट बेल्ट और हेलमेट जैसे सुरक्षात्मक उपकरणों की अनदेखी और अत्यधिक ओवरटेकिंग।

Q.4) Why should one not drink alcohol and drive?

A) Liquor decreases concentration that decreases a human body’s reaction time which takes longer to respond to brain guidelines that hamper vision due to instability.

शराब एक मानव शरीर की प्रतिक्रिया समय को कम करने वाली एकाग्रता को कम करती है जो अस्थिरता के कारण दृष्टि में बाधा डालने वाले मस्तिष्क के दिशानिर्देशों का जवाब देने में अधिक समय लेती है।

Q.5) Why is it essential to use seat belt in vehicles?

Ans:) Wearing seat belts and helmet decreases the seriousness of injuries during collisions and increases the chance of recovery in a serious accident.

सीट बेल्ट और हेलमेट पहनने से टकराव के दौरान चोटों की गंभीरता कम हो जाती है और गंभीर दुर्घटना में ठीक होने की संभावना बढ़ जाती है।

Q.6) State the adverse effects of road accidents?

Ans:) Road accidents causes mutilation and death, damage to vehicle and property, economic loss that can also crash houses, trees or public infrastructure.

सड़क दुर्घटनाएँ उत्परिवर्तन और मृत्यु का कारण बनती हैं, वाहन और संपत्ति को नुकसान, आर्थिक नुकसान जो घरों, पेड़ों या सार्वजनिक बुनियादी ढांचे को भी दुर्घटनाग्रस्त कर सकते हैं।

Q.7) What are the causes of Road Accidents?

Ans:) Road injuries are usually caused by:

1) Fast vehicle pace:

Rapid speed of a vehicle is one of the primary causes of road accidents. If drivers intentionally travel at an extremely rapid pace that runs contrary to traffic laws, whether to show off, meet a deadline or for no specific reason, they jeopardize their own lives and others also. If a rapid speed vehicle driver loses control of the vehicle it causes road accidents.

The higher the velocity, the greater the harm.

A vehicle that moves at a rapid speed has a greater effect during the collision and causes more casualties.

तेज वाहन की गति:

किसी वाहन की तीव्र गति सड़क दुर्घटनाओं के प्राथमिक कारणों में से एक है। यदि ड्राइवर जानबूझकर बेहद तीव्र गति से यात्रा करते हैं जो ट्रैफिक कानूनों के विपरीत चलता है चाहे दिखावा करना हो, किसी समय सीमा को पूरा करना हो या बिना किसी विशेष कारण के, वे अपने स्वयं के जीवन और दूसरों को भी खतरे में डालते हैं। यदि एक तेज गति वाहन चालक वाहन का नियंत्रण खो देता है तो यह सड़क दुर्घटनाओं का कारण बनता है।

जितना अधिक वेग, उतना ही अधिक नुकसान।

एक वाहन जो तीव्र गति से चलता है, टक्कर के दौरान अधिक प्रभाव डालता है और अधिक दुर्घटना का कारण बनता है।

2) Drivers heedlessness:

Driver carelessness is also a significant cause of road accidents where drivers do not make sure their vehicles are in proper working order. Driving vehicles with no or defective breaks often causes road accidents. Proper servicing, repair and frequent testing of vehicles prevent collisions with road traffic and save lives.

ड्राइवर की लापरवाही:

ड्राइवर की लापरवाही भी सड़क दुर्घटनाओं का एक महत्वपूर्ण कारण है जहां ड्राइवर यह सुनिश्चित नहीं करते हैं कि उनके वाहन उचित कार्य क्रम में हैं। बिना या दोषपूर्ण ब्रेक के साथ वाहन चलाने से अक्सर सड़क दुर्घटनाएं होती हैं। वाहनों की उचित सर्विसिंग, मरम्मत और लगातार परीक्षण सड़क यातायात के साथ टकराव को रोकते हैं और जीवन को बचाते हैं।

3) Getting intoxicated while driving:

Alcohol consumption when driving is another significant cause of road accidents, because alcohol affects the reaction of the body. It slows down the brain and response, disrupting sense of balance and coordination. This also affects vision and hearing, resulting in loss of focus by drivers who feel tired and sleepy. All of these factors influence the decision when driving leading to serious accidents on the road.

गाड़ी चलाते समय नशा करना:

वाहन चलाते समय शराब का सेवन सड़क दुर्घटनाओं का एक और महत्वपूर्ण कारण है, क्योंकि शराब शरीर की प्रतिक्रिया को प्रभावित करती है। यह मस्तिष्क और प्रतिक्रिया को धीमा कर देता है, संतुलन और समन्वय की भावना को बाधित करता है। यह दृष्टि और श्रवण को भी प्रभावित करता है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप ड्राइवरों को ध्यान केंद्रित करने में हानि होती है जो थका हुआ और नींद महसूस करते हैं। ये सभी कारक सड़क पर गंभीर दुर्घटनाओं के लिए वाहन चलाते समय निर्णय को प्रभावित करते हैं।

4) Not following the law regulating traffic:

Another big reason for street mishaps is the infringement by drivers of traffic regulations. Some drivers break traffic light signals, leave their vehicles on highways, tries to enter their vehicles on one side or on no entry area, refuse to follow traffic signals and don’t utilize their vehicle indicators.

यातायात को नियंत्रित करने वाले कानून का पालन नहीं करना:

सड़क दुर्घटनाओं का एक और बड़ा कारण यातायात नियमों के चालकों द्वारा उल्लंघन है। कुछ ड्राइवर ट्रैफिक लाइट सिग्नल तोड़ते हैं, अपने वाहनों को राजमार्गों पर छोड़ देते हैं, अपने वाहनों को एक तरफ या बिना प्रवेश क्षेत्र में प्रवेश करने की कोशिश करते हैं, यातायात संकेतों का पालन करने से इनकार करते हैं और अपने वाहन संकेतकों का उपयोग नहीं करते हैं।

5) Abstaining from security gears:

Wearing safety belts and helmets protects individuals shielded from serious injury during street crashes. When driving a scooter and bikes, individuals should utilize recommended standard helmet and wear them appropriately for maximum security.

सुरक्षा गियर से बचना:

सुरक्षा बेल्ट और हेलमेट पहनने से सड़क दुर्घटना के दौरान गंभीर चोट लगने वाले व्यक्तियों को सुरक्षा मिलती है। स्कूटर और बाइक चलाते समय, व्यक्तियों को अनुशंसित मानक हेलमेट का उपयोग करना चाहिए और उन्हें अधिकतम सुरक्षा के लिए उचित रूप से पहनना चाहिए।

6) Conditions of roads:

Damaged highways, unauthorized traffic interruptors, road mergers, incorrect signs and markings often cause road accidents.

सड़कों की स्थिति:

क्षतिग्रस्त राजमार्ग, अनधिकृत यातायात अवरोधक, सड़क विलय, गलत संकेत और चिह्नों के कारण अक्सर सड़क दुर्घटनाएं होती हैं।

7) Automobiles:

Brake failure, tyre explosion, overloading, lack of headlights may also cause road accidents.

वाहन:

ब्रेक की विफलता, टायर विस्फोट, ओवरलोडिंग, हेडलाइट्स की कमी भी सड़क दुर्घटनाओं का कारण बन सकती है।

8) Meteorology situation:

In the same way, mist, frost, snow, rainfall and windstorms can cause street mishaps.

मौसम विज्ञान की स्थिति:

उसी तरह, धुंध, ठंढ, बर्फ, बारिश और हवा के तूफान से सड़क दुर्घटना हो सकती है।

Q.8) How can we prevent road accidents?

2) Citizens should learn the road signals properly.

3) utilization of helmets for two-wheeler drivers and safety belt for four-wheeler drivers ought to be obligatory.

medical aid given within the first hour of the accident to the street mishap victim, increases his / her

chances of survival and decreases the severity of the injury. Lives of numerous mishap victims can be

saved inside the primary hour of the occurrence by giving basic life support machine, medical aid, and

liquid for the victim. The Golden Hour is the first hour after the incident.

संभावना को बढ़ा देती है और चोट की गंभीरता को कम कर देती है। पीड़ित के लिए बुनियादी जीवन समर्थन मशीन,

चिकित्सा सहायता और तरल देकर घटना के प्राथमिक घंटे के भीतर कई दुर्घटना पीड़ितों की जान बचाई जा सकती है।
