Subject: Increasing road accidents

Respected Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and the general public towards the increasing incidents of road accidents.

Road accidents are increasing day by day. They are on the rise especially in big cities. Every year large numbers of people die in these road accidents. It is one of the biggest reasons of unnatural deaths in India. Reckless driving seems to be the root cause behind these accidents. Other causes include drunk-driving, bad road conditions, breaking traffic rules or norms and avoiding safety gears like seat belts and helmets.

A few strict steps such as strict enforcement of speed limits, heavy penalty on law violators and making driving tests more stringent are needed to avoid such type of accidents. People should be made aware of traffic rules and proper safety measures.

I, therefore, request you to kindly publish this article in your esteemed newspaper so that it may generate public interest and attentions and the concerned authorities look into the gravity of matter and take adequate measures to prevent it as much as possible.

_Thanking you_

*Yours truly*

(Your name)
