According to experts, several critical factors contribute to traffic accidents in the country.
Among the main causes are careless driving, excessive speeding, poor roads, and disregard for traffic regulations. These problems show how urgently updated traffic laws and greater public education on safe driving practices are needed in Afghanistan, Khaama Press reported.
It is essential to address these issues if we want to decrease the number and severity of traffic accidents in the nation.
To make roads safer and reduce needless accidents, it is important to encourage good driving habits, maintain roads, and enforce traffic laws.
