It is indeed shocking and shameful news for every Indian! Human error has been identified as the single largest cause of road accidents. There are very issues to be tackled to reduce this number. The very first reason is the procedure for granting driving license is not at all stringent. Other important reasons are: non-availability of immediate medical care to the accident victims due to red-tapism; use of mobile phones and earplugs while driving; improper road furniture, driving after consuming alcohol, inadequate traffic control measures, etc. Added to this, corruption is rampant in this sector.
The India government should take immediate measures to curb this trend and ensure road safety. There are too many vehicles on the city roads. Unless the existing laws are strictly enforced, the situation is not likely to improve. Who cares?
