'Over-speeding is the biggest killer on Indian roads'

According to a report released by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways last week, around 1,07,236 people have lost their lives on various Indian roads due to over-speeding in 2021 alone, while more than 2,80,000 people have been left injured due to accidents caused by over-speeding. Combining the last two years’ data, i.e, 2020 and 2021, almost two lakh people have lost their lives in India in car accidents that happened due to over-speeding.

On Friday, Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant also met with an accident on Friday morning while going from Delhi to his hometown in Uttarakhand’s Dehradun and is grievously injured. Reportedly, Pant’s car was much beyond the permissible speed limit. He is currently being treated at the Max Hospital in Dehradun.
