"Over the last decade, a few thousand Indians have lost their lives as a
consequence of terror attacks. An estimated 15,000 people die every year
due to malaria. But 1.2 lakh Indians lose their lives each year on
the roads. And 10 times that number is seriously injured."
this is the quote from the Hindustan Times under the article "this neglect is tragic"
the same article quotes as below
"Although India accounts for only 1% of registered motor vehicles on the globe, Indians account for 9% of deaths caused by traffic accidents worldwide. Thirteen Indians die every hour on the roads."
Terrifying eh!
if you are using Indian roads!!!!!
this is not new as the link below has published articles on traffic safety in India and around the world
traffic safety articles for reference
but what is important, who is going to take the accountability???
the road user,
the other road user rather than me,
lack of adequate infrastructure and road signs,
lack of technology in the vehicles used,
lack of education,
government or the law maker and enforcer
we all will have different views, but here is an attempt to get the government to act on by owning at least part of the responsibility
article in hindustan times
but do we as road user, simply wait for someone to enforce something on us
sooner we enforce ourselves, we are not going to see the light at the end of the tunnel
Hope this article kindles your thoughts on road safety
warm regards
