But our safety is an important concern too. Our country boasts of having the world’s second largest road network which caters to just about 1% of the global vehicle population. While this may seem like a lot of uncluttered free miles per vehicle it doesn’t ensure safe travels always. Road accidents take place in high numbers. It is estimated that India is losing its youth aged between 15 and 29 years to road traffic injuries, with our country leading the world in road crash deaths and injuries.
