Every day horrific stories of people dying in road accidents are increasing. Many of them are the most vulnerable motorcyclists. Zig zag and in and out of one traffic lane to the other it seems they are acrobats in a circus instead of ordinary motorcyclists driving on a busy Karachi city road where other drivers with similar habits are driving in bigger and more powerful vehicles whose one touch or a little push can send them flying head first into a pavement with of course horrendous results specially if you are not wearing a helmet, which most people are not irrespective of the much hyped drives urging motorcyclists to wear one.

Do you have any idea how many people lose their lives in a year in traffic accidents and how many are wounded with many of them crippled for life? Only last year more than 1,400 Karachiites lost their lives in road accidents and over 18,000 were wounded, and most of the wounded had injuries that made them handicapped.

Do you know the implications of a normal healthy person leading a happy family........
