Driving like this on narrow or winding roads at night directly leads to the vehicle losing control and hitting fixed objects. Fixed-Object Impacts & Rollover Dynamics: Since trees or concrete pillars on the side of the road do not absorb any shock, a high-speed collision will instantly overturn or roll over a vehicle. Here, the passengers of the vehicle are highly likely to suffer serious shocks and broken bones. Night speed limits and use of seat belts (Seatbelt Discipline): Controlling the speed during night driving as well as front and rear passengers wearing seat belts will prevent them from being thrown out of the cabin in such a rollover accident and save lives. In case of an accident, call 1990 Suvasaria Ambulance Service immediately.
