About 40 kids were from Delhi Public School were of to Jaipur for an educational field trip. However, on the way they met up with a terrifying accident. A truck which was rolling on a very high speed, was carrying pipes pierced through the school bus injuring 20 students and two teachers. Out of 20 students 4 of the students are severely hurt as well as the two teachers who were with the students to chaperone them. The students and the teachers were stuck in the bus for over two hours before they were rescued.

Living in Delhi for my vacations I have realized that the traffic is impossible to deal with. To get somewhere to a certain place you may think its near, but thanks to the traffic it takes you ages. When being on the road, drivers are constantly honking, however, there is no movement. A person can be stuck in traffic for 1 or more hours. I see people driving with no responsibility. They cut in through others lanes, they don't follow the traffic signals, or the speed limit. There are two sides on the road, but some people don't even follow the right lane, in fact they will go on a lane which is going the opposite way to their destination, but they themselves will go against the traffic. This leads to more traffic. More or less there are two lanes, so two cars should be parallel to each other. But this is not likely to be seen here. People end of making their own lanes. so by the end instead of two cars there are like ten cars trying to shove by and their way. The traffic lines, the lanes all exist, however, hardly anyone follows them. The sad part is everyone complains about the traffic, but still no one sees that their driving is part of the problem. In the article above the truck driver was being irresponsible and risked many students lives. Drivers need to be careful of how they drive and where they drive. People need to start becoming more responsible for their own actions.
