How not to hit the roadTomorrow, millions of holiday makers will hit the road to celebrate New Year. Every year, the government and its various ministries roll out the so-called "Seven Dangerous Days" campaign to reduce traffic accidents. For this year, the government has set a target to cut the number of road accidents during the festive period by 5%. According to the Command Centre for the Prevention of Road Accidents under the Interior Ministry, the number of casualties from road accidents during the so-called "Seven Dangerous Days" campaign during the festive holidays in the last three years has been steadily dropping. Despite doubts, it is likely that authorities can do better if they properly address the cause of traffic accidents.
