(2) Road accidents are very common in Bangladesh for several reasons.

1. Reckless driving: Many drivers drive at high speed, overtake dangerously and race with other vehicles for passengers.
2. Unskilled and unlicensed drivers: Many drivers have no proper training or valid driving licence.
3. Unfit vehicles: Old, poorly maintained vehicles with faulty brakes and lights run on the roads.
4. Poor roads: Narrow, damaged and crowded roads, with weak signs and signals, increase the risk.
5. Weak law enforcement: Traffic laws are often not strictly enforced, and offenders sometimes escape punishment.
6. Lack of public awareness: Pedestrians often cross roads carelessly, ignoring footbridges and traffic rules.
7. Overloading: Buses, trucks and launches often carry more passengers or goods than allowed.

To reduce accidents, the government must enforce traffic rules, improve roads and licensing, and raise public awareness.
