What effect could car accidents have on people of the country?
Accidents are always end bad news. People loose their life. It is not just people that are a part of accident that get hurt, but people in the town.There are definitely not positive vibes spreading around the town after an accident happens. People get really worried and scared wondering and being paranoid how that could happen to them as well. But at the same time accidents could be a good influence as well on people to get their mind straight and start thinking about safety on the road. People should pay more attention what is going on around them and start thinking how they can help or at least try to make things better.
