Quotes
Bal Malkit Singh
Advisor and former President of the All India Motor Transport Congress
“"Tamil Nadu’s data point to a high-volume, relatively low-impact crash environment. With 3.86 accidents for every fatality, a larger proportion of reported crashes are survivable. This suggests that while driving behaviour and traffic density contribute to frequent accidents, the State’s road infrastructure, median protection, lighting and post-crash emergency response are comparatively better at preventing those crashes from turning fatal,"”
