In 2016, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Lai stated that the total of people died in road accident in Malaysia is higher compare the year before from 6,706 to 7,125.

We need to change our behaviour first, so that we can prevent the accident from happen. It is our responsibility to drive safely and think about other user. Sometimes we just think to hurry and speeding without knowing other people safety. So from now we need to give more attention on the safety of other people and love them as like we love our selves. Then, government also need to take their responsibility to give more attention to the road accident that involves many user and more sensitive to the complaints about the road condition because if government doesn’t play the role, to anyone that user need to refer? Is it the user need to repair by their self? Right? So the government please give more attention to the road accident so that the accident can be preventing from happen. Before I finish my speech I want to share the words from Thomas Perez “if you’re one car accident away from poverty, you’re on a high wire without a safety net and that’s a challenging proposition”.

Easterbrook explains why the program of road fatalities is being ignored by society (1). According to Gregg Easterbrook’s article, “Road Kill”, he writes that “the first fundamental difference between harm because of accidents and harm because of deliberate action; the second, society’s strange assumption that traffic fatalities cannot be avoided” (1). He writes that, because, unlike terrorism, car crashes were planned to cause harm. Easterbrook writes that
“That was the worst phone call I got in my entire life. Awful,” Nalon Burch’s mother said. An 18 years old freshmen in West Virginia University who passed away because he drank a lot of alcohol more than what his body can handle.

Drinking and Driving The article “11 Facts About Driving Under the Influence” states that every 51 minutes in America, someone’s life is stolen from them due to one’s selfish decision to drive under the influence. This decision does not only affect those of the lives they have deprived, but it leaves family members and close colleagues in pain and agony knowing that one’s ignorant decision, to break the law murdered their loved one. If one understands the facts, that will be stated in this essay, and choose not to drink and drive, then he or she might just save the world, one life at a time. Driving while under the influence is wrong for many reasons.
How would you feel if your loved ones got into a car crash, but not on accident? Drunk driving crashes are never accidents. Drunk driving is a serious issue. Drunk driving is also known as D.U.I. (driving under influence).
Drunk driving seems to be a black spot of our civilization. An average of 17,000 individuals die each year in drunk driving related accidents, and drunk driving continues to be an enormously important public safety issue (MADD). With lowering this drinking age we can only expect more cases of drunk driving and more lives are put in danger. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates that about 900 lives are saved annually due to fewer alcohol-related traffic crashes involving underage drivers. Surely, it should be a priority for the society to minimize the death toll from drunk driving.
When you partake in these actions, you are putting yourself and others at risk for injury and possible death. Alcohol and drugs are capable of impairing your motor skills, reaction time and judgment, and can also affect your depth and distance perception. All of these skills are crucial for driving safely; hence, driving under the influence is utterly treacherous and detrimental to your well-being. As well as putting yourself and others at risk, driving while under the influence also has serious legal consequences. Incarceration, impounding of your vehicle, and revocation of your driver’s license are all possible repercussions of drinking and driving.
Thousands of people die a year and innocent people are harmed due to this action. Even if the accidents are big or small, it
(Eduardo Romano and Robert B. Voas 2011) The highest overall level of driving risk are those who drink heavily on a given occasion and who have a high level of hostility. (Eduardo Romano and Robert B. Voas 2011) Drinking drivers who are caught and those who are not provide a greater understanding of the drinking and driving problems. (Eduardo Romano and Robert B. Voas 2011)
Drinking while driving not only affects the driver himself, his family and also passengers that may be riding with him and this person's family as well.

Drunk driving is a serious problem that continues to take thousands of deaths each year. Too many innocent lives been lost to drunk driving. A death from drunk driving does not only affect the victim but it affects everyone around them such as family and friends. One night, one drink, one mistake is all it takes for drunk driving to take its toll. There are many solutions to prevent drunk driving, but they will only work if we put them into play.
One of the greatest death causes while driving for many years was because of individuals driving under the influence of alcohol. However, alcohol is no longer the only reason why so many deaths are being caused out in the streets while driving. Society is so consumed by this one thing that even while driving it cannot wait. Those who are driving do not understand the danger they put themselves and others in when they give their attention away from the road and everything around them. This small device in the hands of people while driving has caused many deaths in our world.
Drugs are substances that trigger temporary changes in the body which may result in such a pleasurable and relaxing effect. Some of the types can slow down the nervous system’s action, while other types can have the exact opposite effect; spurring the nervous system into rapid action. Drugs are connected to cravings or addiction since a person’s body starts yearning for drugs after he or she has taken it for a while. Drugs affect consciousness significantly! They may cause people to hear or see things that aren’t real (hallucinations), experiencing mood swings, or may even distort people’s perceptions.
This means that our governments should invest in redesigning our road, highways and freeways to cope with high speed limits. High speed limits do not mean that our road has become unsafe, but their design is not appropriate for certain new speed limits. Our roads have been the same for many years and have not been updated for decades. In addition to that, the reckless driving, lack of driving and road maturity is causing hundreds of causalities yearly. The drivers on the road lack respect, gratefulness and gratitude to other drivers and that’s why accidents are occurring.
Once drunk driving can come to an end, more people will feel safer to drive everyday. Drunk driving causes thousands of deaths per year because each day, someone does not think as they step on the gas pedal. Driving while intoxicated causes problems that not only affect the victim lives, but the future of the drunk driver’s life as well. Drunk driving was the main cause in the death of one of the world 's most famous and beloved people in 1997.
