阅读下短文，然后按照要求，写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽).
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents are caused due to the psychological(心理的) condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can slow drivers’ judgment and reactions, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make an effort to keep one’s emotions under control.
Yet drivers are not the only people to blame for road accidents. Street walkers regularly break traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they need not follow the basic rules of the road.

How to reduce traffic accidents
Every year an amazingly large number of people die or become disabled because of traffic accidents, most of which are caused by drivers with bad psychological condition. In some cases, street walkers and cyclists are also to blame.
Traffic accidents cause great losses of lives as well as property and bring people a lot of sufferings. But many accidents could have been avoided if people had paid more attention to safety. I think road users should tell themselves again and again to be aware of dangers on the road. Drivers must realize that they will become a killer if they are careless in driving. They should learn to control their emotion while driving and keep themselves away from drunken driving. Walkers and cyclists should keep safety in mind and strictly follow traffic rules. The government should educate the public to guard against road accidents and make strict regulations of road safety for people to follow. If we can do so, we are sure that we can reduce the number of traffic accidents.
