But if we are to look closely at many road traffic accidents, the unfortunate truth is that we are often the devil to ourselves. We Are Often Our Own Worst Enemy on the Road
I remember being in a commuter omnibus once. The driver was travelling at a fairly reasonable speed—safe and controlled. Suddenly, one of the passengers shouted that he was late for work and complained that the driver was moving too slowly. That moment stayed with me. Because sometimes, we are the same people who pressure drivers to speed up, to take unnecessary risks—all in the name of arriving faster.
Worse still, we sometimes applaud these high-thrill, reckless speeds, as if we’re in a race and not in a shared vehicle where safety should come first. Then when tragedy strikes, we are the first to point fingers.
It’s time we reflect: Are we contributing to road safety, or silently cheering for danger? Responsibility doesn’t only lie with the driver. It’s a shared burden—and a shared choice.
