Do You Agree That Driving Has Become Very Risky These Days ?

To add, giving driver's license here in our country seems not very strict on applicants. If a person just know how to drive a vehicle, they can get driver's license. Psychological and other tests were not implemented properly and strictly. Just to share, during the time I am applying for my licensed, there is a person also getting his license. The man seems to be too old to be able to drive, he is already accompanied by his relative because he can't even walk by himself. But he was still issued with his license.

I agree! Here in the Philippines accidents by reckless driving is increasing. Most of the accidents were on motorcycle drivers. Sometimes, even you are too careful in driving your own vehicle, you might encounter reckless drivers that will cause/involved you in an accident. Last frday, I just saw an accident involving motorcycle and a truck. In my opinion it was the motorcycle's fault. They keep on overtaking and crossing big vehicles even there is traffic, perhaps, the driver of the truck doesn't noticed the motorcycle crossing in front of him.

Yhea your right I't become more risky these days since there are a lot of vehicle in the road everyday. Here in my country we had already number code scheme for the odd even number assign on what day they are not allowed on the road. But still there are a lot of accidents everywhere. I just thought maybe the car companies have to stop producing vehicle for we have no space for everybody. In time maybe my city will have to build and build roads going up and up like 2nd, 3rd and so forth floors. Just an idea hehehe

It is very risky here in America. They let anyone drive who can pass the test and many states issue licenses that are good for years and years without re-testing. So we have drivers that are very old as well as teenagers. Just last month we had 2 drivers over the age of 85 in 2 separate incidents that hit the gas instead of the brake and drove through buildings. No one was seriously injured, thank God. Others drive drunk and kill people and don't even get their licenses taken away. Most drivers, it seems, have cell phones glued to their ears and are not paying attention. I was nearly run off the road yesterday by a woman whose care drifted over the center line into my lane--she was talking on her cell phone and not paying attention and I had to drive half off the road to avoid her. Driving has always been risky but now that everyone is using cell phones it is even worse.

Ganesh, indeed driving had been very risky and dangerous in my country, too. That's why, i can see that my sister who had been going through driving class, had to gone through more tough driving lesson. It is more hard to pass the driving exam, unlike my time where we only need to learn a few basic knowledge, to pass the exam. Nowadays, there are more and more knowledge they need to know, to be able to pass those theory and practical driving exam.

We should drive responsibly and not recklessly to avoid any accident and avoid driving drunk or texting while driving,just focus on the street and in driving.

I do have to agree that driving does seem to have become a more risky affair. Some people really aren't driving safely. It can definitely make you a little nervous, and certainly more cautious.

I haven't noticed that it is.

i could say that yes,driving become more risky now a days,there are many reckless driver now a days too,and many more driver are those aggressive one,those who drive where like in a racing,and most of vehicle accident here in my country are bicycle and buses.

Yes and aside from drivers' undisciplined driving, one reason could be the number of vehicles has increased tremendously. Recently I posted these driving tips in my fb wall. 1. Drivers meet vehicular accidents on the road. The longer you stay there, the higher is your chance of accident. So drive fast, if you could cut your travel time into half, you have reduced the possibility of accident into half. 2. Drivers bump vehicles in front. So try to overtake every vehicle in your front. You are safe once you are ahead of everyone. You got no one to bump. 3.Use every part of your vehicle properly. Bumper as its name suggest is for bumping. What's the use of your bumper if you will not use it. 4. Don't be shy to drive fast when you are drunk. Isn't it that your purpose of drinking is to get rid of your shyness? CAUTION: These are not recommended for everyone. These tips are only for experts.LOL!
