22. Present Indian Road Scenario
About 1,20,000 people died in road accidents
About 5,00,000 people became permanently disabled
Revenue loss due to road accidents is about 55,000 th.crore rupees
Isn’t this a dangerous road condition?
Drive as if every child on the street were you own
23. Reasons of such scenario on Indian Roads
• Lack of organized Road Safety Education in the system.
• Improper attitude, behavior & lack of responsibility by road users on
the road. ( I own the road )
• Lack of knowledge about driving discipline & safe driving skills
• Lack of proper monitoring system of Traffic Discipline by
concerned authorities.
• Lack of knowledge & awareness about rules & regulations among
people
Give a little time to Road Safety & get a lifetime of existence.

Why ?
• Untrained in most cases
• Less educated & wrong attitude
• Trained by “ustad” and not by professional trainer
• Lack of knowledge of Traffic Rules & Regulations
• Poor standard of living – Lack of motivation
Wrong Attitude, Wrong Decision
26. Defensive Driving Training for Private Vehicle Drivers
Why ?
• Self taught two wheeler riding ( driving is my birth right )
• Similar for Car Driving in many cases ( I can handle )
• Wrong belief of being Safe Driver (others are worst)
• Do not like to refresh the knowledge of driving skill (ego)
• Lack of knowledge about Traffic Rules & Regulations
Do we drive or it happens?

• Systematic knowledge on vehicular maintenance shall bring
better fuel economy and thus shall help the economy of the
country in long run.

smoke and thus improve the fresh air quality.

the scenario on India Roads shall look different in coming time.
Road Safety is a field, which is to be ploughed,
Sooner or Later, So, Why not Now?
29. The Result
Through such circular efforts, if we can reduce number of accidents on
Indian roads, we can not only save revenue for the country but also lives
of people and thus happiness of families and country.
Accidents can be reduced
