Methodology Section

For this research or experiment we used samples from gender and age. A survey was used to get all the information and result for the research. Multiple regression analysis and Chi square analysis were utilized to as statistical tools for the research

The expected sample for this research is fifty five people.

Recommendation:

The following are suggested recommendation in order to minimize the problem:

1. The role of law enforcing authority is solely important. The use of safety helmet and belt must be enforced as well as strict rules regarding license issuing, ban of using mobile phone while driving, etc.

2. The Government must create public awareness to prevent road accidents by organizing seminars, road dramas, plays, etc. Moreover, mass behavior modification and education regarding road safety should be imparted from the school level.

3. Impose high fine by the government for driver breaking laws specially such as breaking the red traffic lights.
