National statistics just released have revealed that every year 15 lacs major accidents occur in India. Of these 1.5 lacs result in fatalities.The reasons given for these accidents are varied. They are due to drunken driving, rash and regligent driving, bad condition of roads, lack of sufficient lighting along the roads, overspeeding, overtaking and unlicenced drivers. Accidents due to all the above causes can be reduced drastically if stringent measures to rectify each of these causes are implemented .Ten per cent fatalities is a very large proportion and if monitoring of traffic checks on drivers, better illumination of roads, awareness programmes and enploying roads signs as well as demarcating accident prone areas are identified immediately. Speed limits and strict tests for issuing licences can reduce fatalities to a great extent.
