Have a great day.
World’s highest road traffic accidents in India: WHO
Road traffic accidents, according to the
World Health Organisation (WHO), are the second highest cause of death in the
world while India holds the dubious distinction of registering the highest
number of road traffic mishaps globally.
In 2012, India, with 30 crore vehicles,
accounted for 130,000 road accidents.
The four major
factors of road accidents were bad road condition, speeding by drivers, drunk
driving and refusal to use safety measures like helmets and seat belts and
inefficient law enforcement.
The number of road mishaps in India had
increased from 54,100 in 1990 to 130,000 in 2012.
