Road safety is a big issue in many countries, including India. It is important to use caution, drive cautiously, and adhere to traffic laws.
According to a report released by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in 2019, 1,51,113 people died in accidents in India in 2019. It further said that road accidents continue to be a leading cause of death, disabilities and hospitalisation in the country.
Every year, lives of around 1.3 million people are cut short globally due to road accident. Non-fatal injuries affect between 20 and 50 million additional people, with many of them resulting in disabilities, as per a World Health Organization (WHO) report.
