Safety on Roads in India

  Chirag Bhasin,  Dr. R.R. Singh

We all know that “Speed Thrills but Kills” instead of this, we still want to speed in our daily life. The deadly game of hunted and hunter is being played daily on Indian Roads from past many years with role of hunter is played by big vehicles and the vulnerable section and smaller vehicles are being hunted. In spite of huge improvement in infrastructure, vehicle designs, driver knowledge and hospitals still accidents are becoming more fatal in nature with every passing year. The major reason can be increase in speed. The researchers have traditionally identified the problems as lack of driver ethics and knowledge, road design issues and high traffic violations. Every year, road accidents in developing countries costs 2-3 % of worldwide gross domestic product. So, we can imagine how many losses we suffer every year only from road accidents in the form of human lives and money. Therefore, this problem needs to be taken into consideration seriously by the governments and actions needs to be taken as early as possible.
