CAG conducted a helmet-compliance study across 11 districts in Tamil Nadu in November 2024. The findings revealed low adherence, particularly among adults in districts like Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram and negligible compliance among children. This is despite  India reporting over 4.6 lakh road crashes, resulting in 1.68 lakh fatalities (in 2022), and Tamil Nadu consistently topping the list for road crashes from 2018 to 2022.
