Slow down – or the morning rush hour can kill you

For info more people are getting into accidents on their way to work than on the way home. Socso CEO K. Selvarajah said statistics showed that accidents involving commuters going to and returning from work had risen by 3% last year compared to 2010. “Accidents involving those going to work make up 52% while those returning home is 48%. “This may be because people tend to rush to avoid being late for work,” he said, adding that motorcyclists made up most of the accident victims. “Try not to rush and always be alert while on the road,” he said after Socso's 2012 Presentation of Research on Accidents at Menara Perkeso here yesterday.
