হামিদ ও খালিদ দুই বন্ধু। হামিদ কিছু ইলেকট্রনিক পণ্য ও কাপড় কিনতে চায়। সাম্প্রতিক সময়ে সড়ক দুর্ঘটনা বৃদ্ধি পাওয়ায় উদ্বেগ প্রকাশ করে তারা হেঁটেই শাহবাগ যাওয়া স্থির করল।
Hamid : Hello Khalid. How are you? Where are you going?
Khalid : Thank you. I am going to Shahbagh, but where are you going?
Hamid : I want to go shopping. I need to buy some electronic goods and few pieces of clothing.
Khalid : Well. You may accompany me. One of my friends has an electronic shop there. It will be better to go there on foot.
Hamid : Why? Do you apprehend any accident?
Khalid : Yes, in fact road accidents are very frequent nowadays. Can you tell me the causes of these frequent road accidents?
Hamid : Drivers do not follow the traffic rules, besides, law enforcing agencies are not functioning properly.
Khalid : You are right. Common people also have some responsibility. Sometimes they just ignore the traffic law.
Hamid : Exactly. Whatever the reasons are I feel very insecure when I go out on the streets. I can’t realize why these mishaps of everyday can’t be controlled.
Khalid : The authority is not serious enough to check the accidents that occur every day. Let’s go ahead.
