THE REASONS WHY ROAD ACCIDENTS TAKES PLACE IN LARGE NUMBERS ON HIGHWAYS AND IN METROPOLITAN CITIES IS DESCRIBED BY ME IN DETAILS AND HOW WE CAN CONTROL SUCH ROAD ACCIDENTS IN WHICH THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN DIE OR MEET WITH FATAL INJURIES

1 FIRST OF ALL MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT WILL ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS THAT DRIVERS DRIVING ABOVE 70 KILOMETRES THEIR DRIVING LICENCES WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND TO ADD FURTHER IF THEY MAKE DRIVING LICENCE FROM ANY OTHER STATE THEY WILL BE PUNISHED FOR IMPRISONMENT UPTO 1 YEAR OR 1 LAKH FINE BY HONOURABLE COURTS IN INDIA FOR CHEATING OR FORGERY AND VARIOUS OTHER SECTIONS OF INDIAN PENAL CODE

2 IF ANY ACCIDENTAL DEATH ON ROAD OR HIGHWAYS TAKES PLACE THE BUS ,TRUCK ,OR ANY MOTOR VEHICLE WILL BE SEIZED BY CONCERNED POLICE OFFICIALS AND RELEASED ONLY AFTER 1 YEAR AFTER TAKING ORDERS FROM HONOURABLE COURTS MAGISTRATES HAVING JURISDICTION

3 IN ANY HIT AND RUN CASE THE PUNISHMENT IMPOSED ON THE DRIVER WILL BE MORE AS NO BAIL WILL BE GRANTED TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AT LEAST FOR 1 YEAR FOR NOT HELPING THE VICTIM WHO HAD SUFFERED GREVIOUS OR MINOR INJURIES AS THE DRIVER HAD DELIBERATELY RUN AWAY FROM THE SPOT ABANDONING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AFTER MEETING WITH AN ACCIDENT

4 DRIVING OVER 60 KMPH OR OVERSPEEDING WILL BECOME A SERIOUS CRIME IN INDIA WHICH WILL BECOME A COGNIZABLE AND NON BAILABLE OFFENCE AND THE DRIVER OR OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GET BAIL ATLEAST FOR 8 MONTHS TO 12 MONTHS AND IF THE DRIVER IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY NARCOTIC OR ALCHOLIC SUBSTANCE HIS PROPERTY WILL BE LIABLE TO BE CONFISCATED BY POLICE OR ANY COMPETENT AUTHORITIES TO ADD FURTHER THE AMOUNT RECOVERED BY AUCTIONING THE PROPERTY WILL GO TOWARDS THE MEDICAL EXPENSES OF THE INJURED PERSON WHO WILL ALSO BE GIVEN CASH COMPENSATION BY HONOURABLE COURTS IN INDIA AS PER EXISTING LAWS

5 HEAVY VEHICLE DRIVERS DRIVING 22 WHEELS TRAWLERS WILL BE GIVEN ORDERS TO DRIVE ONLY AT 50 KMPH THOSE EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMITS WILL BE TAKEN UP SERIOUSLY BY CONCERNED APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES TO ADD FURTHER WOMEN TRUCK DRIVERS WILL OBSERVE ALL RULES AND WILL NOT OVERTAKE OR DO ANY LANE CUTTING TO REACH EARLY OR THEY WILL ALSO BE DEALT UNDER STRINGENT SECTIONS OF VEHICLE ACT
