Centre Plans Performance-Based Safety Norms for Two-Wheelers

The Indian government is planning to change the safety rules for two-wheelers like motorcycles and scooters.

Instead of telling manufacturers exactly what technology to use, they will set goals for how well the brakes should work.

This means manufacturers can choose different ways to meet these safety goals.

The idea is to make roads safer by reducing accidents caused by bad braking, especially for cheaper bikes and scooters, which are involved in many accidents.

The government also wants to make the rules similar to those in other countries.

Manufacturers think this is a good idea because it gives them more freedom to innovate and make better products.
