Many people think that the responsibility for safe roads, campaigns to reduce car accidents and a high quality road system belongs to the government. I think that no matter in what conditionings you drive, you must always be careful with the way you drive. By that I mean that you should drive at the speed limit, be aware of other drivers and pedestrians and many other things. Sometimes governments can’t guarantee the necessary system to give total safeness to drivers and pedestrians but that is no excuse to anyone to drive the way they want to. There are many countries with amazing roads, clear signs and millions of dollar invested in safety but they 
haven’t prevented all accidents, and there are some that still happen. On the other hand, there are some countries that can’t invest that much money on roads, signs and others, but they don’t have as many accidents as other countries do. So the responsibility of the government is to provide roads, signs and others, but the responsibility of being a responsible drivers and pedestrians is ours. Learning how to be civilized, is better to loose one minute in your life driving in a responsible way than to loose your life in one minute. The challenge of the governments is to teach people how to be civilized and surprisingly tickets or campaigns with topless women are not the solution. Being aware of the damage that an irresponsible driver can cause may be the beginning of a new civilized drivers era. Images taken from

I agree with you that there are convenient roads with many clear signs, look safety but usually have accidents happen. Otherwise, in some developing countries where still don't have conditions to set perfect roads, however there are not accidents that often happen. For example, Thailand is one of developing countries, actually its development is slow but it isn't the country used to have many road accidents.Why? Because if you follow traffic rules, drive carefully with a speed limit and control your driving on any way you drive. It will be no more death, injures, and damages for people and property.
Hey Sandra, I strongly agree with you that it is not fair to reject the whole responsibility of road accidents on the government shoulders. In fact, it is true that the government duty is to put in our service all indispensable infrastructures required to insure our safety on the road. However, driving safely, respect the speed limit and all traffic laws are something that we must do either in order to help the government to achieve their task.
Therefore, I call for everyone, to be safe on the road.
