Answer:
Road accidents are one of the biggest cause of deaths on Indian roads. As per media statistics, in India one person is killed in a road accident every four minutes. The causes for India's exceptionally high number of on road casualties include - bad road, careless user behavior, defective road design and engineering, poor enforcement of traffic rules and the lack of rapid trauma care.
The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 (MVA), the only act that governs the road safety in India, has proved ineffective in addressing any of the aforementioned issues decisively. The road safety is still not seen as a priority issue in the country.
A comprehensive national road safety law will be able to improve the situation in the country. The ministry of surface transport has recently amended the Act of MVA to provide stringent penalty and punishment provision in case of flouting rules of driving.
