Transport vehicles account for 42.56% mishaps
Verna, most accident-prone zone
-------------------------------------------------------
The traffic cell has come out with the statistics for
road accidents during the year 2007, pointing out
that buses, trucks and tempos/ pick-ups collectively
constituted 42.56 per cent of the total vehicles involved
in the road accidents around the state.
The data also shows that Verna is the most accident
prone zone with maximum accidents registered during
2007, while Panaji is the safest place, barring the
maximum car accidents category which informs that the
capital city has experienced the maximum car accidents
during last year -
291..........................................................................
The year 2007 also saw recommendation of suspension
of 266 driving licences, while during the earlier year such
recommendation was made for 174 licences.

Dear Goanetters,
Regarding the above article.
If the traffic accidents are increasing day by day and year by year in
Goa, then the Traffic Department should have traffic checking stations
to some junctions on the main/highway roads where it is possible. All
heavy vehicle drivers should be made aware and they should remember that
the traffic police check is waiting in certain points/junctions. All the
roads should show some signs/slogans about safety i.e. "Traffic Check
Ahead". I hope this will reduce some percentage of accidents. Every
driver will control their speed and drive safely to avoid accidents.
Drive safely and save lives.
Regards,
