Importance of road safety in the modern world

Road safety became even more important in recent years. Every country has its own road traffic safety service and programs that include activities aimed to prevent the causes of accidents, and reduce the severity of their consequences. Today road accidents are the most dangerous threat to the health and lives of people around the world. Damage from road accidents exceeds every damages from all other types of accidents.

Traffic accidents are one of the most dangerous global threats to people's health and life. The problem is aggravated by the fact that people injured in accidents are usually young and healthy (before the accident). According to the World Health Organization, around 1.2 million of people die in road accidents every year, and about 50 million are injured.

The importance of road safety rules is hard to overestimate in such a situation. Such rules describe in details the conditions of safe movement. Much attention is paid to speed limits. Rules also say about the need to comply with the required range of motion.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
