The balik-kampung period is also associated with a high accident rate. In their hurry to get home, many drivers take unnecessary risks such as ignoring the speed limit, overtaking at double lines and even becoming road bullies. The accident rate can be reduced if drivers were more considerate and abide by traffic rules for their safety. Write a summary on the causes of road accidents and how they can be overcome.

I am sorry for the late reply. I am writing this letter to inform you about an accident that I witnessed yesterday afternoon at about 1 p.m. The accident was between a bus and a car at a junction in Kampung Setia. I saw the accident when I was going home with my best friend Amir. A car was knocked down by a bus. The car was badly damaged. The driver was seriously injured. My friend and I quickly helped the victims. I pulled out the car driver from his vehicle. He was bleeding profusely. Amir then used his mobile phone to call the ambulance and the police. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived and took the victims to the hospital. The police arrived and directed the traffic. Later, my friend and I went home. I told my parents about the accident and they were very proud of me. We were happy for helping the accident victims. Its getting late and I have to pen off now. Bye and take care. Your friend Bala
