Dear Nettekara, 2 days ago, near the Calangute Police Station, an out-of-state, rash motorcyclist crashed into a young Goenkar riding ****without a helmet****, a brand-new, Rs. 1,4 lakh, Japanese-state-of-the-art, super-fast, two wheeler.
He escaped miraculously, but it took 12 stitches to close a large bit of flapping skin on his foot. Imagine if that injury was on his head! Cannot imagine? Then, please do not close this mail without visiting this educational slide show <http://www.slideshare.net/news4u/operationroad-reminder-on-accidental-deaths-preview-on-11072011>on road accidents on Indian roads: < http://www.slideshare.net/news4u/operationroad-reminder-on-accidental-deaths-preview-on-11072011> 3 more slide shows on road safety: http://www.slideshare.net/news4u http://www.slideshare.net/safeindianroads/road-accident-prevention-powerpoint-presentation-with-photos http://www.slideshare.net/safeindianroads/road-safety-suggestions-for-india<http://www.slideshare.net/safeindianroads/road-safety-powerpoint-presentation> We are only sharing with you our own 'homskooling' efforts with our 2 teens, who are on the verge of getting their riding/driving licences. As we have said before, such a licence is no guarantee that we are either producing safe riders/drivers, or that we have safe driving conditions on our roads. But as adults we have a responsibility to do at least this much. It will make Goa a safer place to live in. Thanks to GOACAN for forcing us to look into road safety in Goa. Warm regards and solidarity.
