As per reports in our country more than 15 to 16 person die in road accident in each hour, that mean a person dies in each four minutes ,which is much higher than any other cause of death in the country.There are lot of reason behind in the happening of each road accident  but human related issues are more dominating in the occurrence of road accidents.
