Steps for bringing down Road Accidents in India (2)
Raising of lower age limit for two wheeler and Heavy Vehicle license to 21.
Helmet should be made compulsory by law in all states, OR impose a lower speed limit for those who do not use helmet.
Helmet should be made compulsory for back seat riders also
Ensure that all Helmet users are fixing the Chinstrap of Helmet.Otherwise it will not help during an accident.
Ensure that ONLY good quality Helmets are available in the market.
Strict enforcement of existing traffic rules.
Law should be modified such that the person who made the accident has to bear (say) 0 to 10 % of the insurance claims, depending on severity of negligence. Also the compensations should be made very huge, making accidents unaffordable so that everyone will be very vigilant.
All those who do not maintain the safe distance for the speed should be punished.
Safety awareness should begin from childhood, as it is difficult to impart awareness to a grown up a human. If safety awareness is imparted at childhood, safety will be a habit.
Video / Computer Games that simulate Racing should be banned by Government OR discouraged by parents as it will develop racing habit in children.
All sorts of Motor sports especially racing should be banned in India by government. Telecast of Motor Sports and Racing also should be banned.
Racing and over speed / highly risky riding, driving by Heroes should not be filmed in cinemas and TV serials. Government should censor such scenes.
Children below a certain age should not be permitted to do cycling in busy roads / roads where heavy vehicles are plying.
