Addressing the gathering, Dr. Sanjay urged medical students to strictly follow traffic rules. He emphasized the use of helmets while riding two-wheelers and seat belts while driving four-wheelers. He reminded students that they are future nation builders and must promote safe road practices in society.<\/p>\n
He further identified drunken driving, fatigue, distraction, and over speeding as major causes of accidents, especially in night travel and hilly regions.
