Buckle Up! No Excuses Now.
A compliance audit conducted by CAG recently in two districts of Tamil Nadu, (i.e. Thiruvarur and Tirunelveli) revealed that more than 50% of vehicle drivers did not comply with the usage of helmets and seatbelts. The compliance levels of pillion riders in two-wheelers and passengers in cars were acutely low. This reality comes with no surprise but an increased sense of worry given the fact that Tamil Nadu has been registering the highest number of road crashes for five years consecutively until 2020.
