In fact, the victims of traffic accidents may be more than those of wars or even those of natural disasters. Death of those who were involved in wars as they are likely to be killed, but in the case of traffic victims there is no rational reason for their death, they were unfairly killed by some semi-human beings who used to drive their vehicles in so reckless speeds, and sometimes with absent-mindedness, and with no knowledge of the rules and norms of driving. Let alone the fact that they are totally with no sense of responsibility.
As a result of that, traffic policemen are responsible for such tragic incidents and they should use iron fists to prevent such rash and foolish acts. This terrible behavior reflects misunderstanding of real objectives of technology. Seeing torn-limbs caused by traffic accidents immediately brings anger to the head as well as deep sorrow for the victim people. Besides, there is an outcry in the society against such cruel acts by those criminal savages, who misuse vehicles on highways.
Such acts leave one angry, astonished and unable to think quietly. They make one behaves unmercifully towards careless drivers, too.
There are strict traffic laws in all countries applied very accurately by everyone and include severe punishments, which are harder than those used against the most dangerous criminals, as the neglect of innocent people’s lives will certainly give a drive to careless drivers to act more rashly.
But since the rule of law is sidelined in this area, we still witness these continuous violent accidents. Furthermore, there are traffic regulations in Yemen that almost are not applied and only controlled by money. Those who are able to buy too expensive cars are, of course, able to pay for their crimes.
