Buckle Up! An assessment of helmet and seatbelt law compliance in Thiruvarur district
More than 50% of vehicle drivers in Thiruvarur district were found not adhering to the helmet and seatbelt laws, says a compliance audit conducted by CAG recently. With Tamil Nadu topping the charts for the highest number of annual road crashes consecutively for the fifth year in 2020, it is important to lookback, learn and redefine our road safety management practices. This study also recommends next steps for proactive enforcement and road safety management in districts of Tamil Nadu.

Road Safety - Chennai Traffic Police awareness on Honking
Reckless #honking even at signals is common on our roads. Honking doesn’t make your vehicle move faster; it frustrates the other road users. Kudos to the #GCTP for reminding drivers to maintain a safe & stress-free road environment for all.

Strap Your Safety Gear On! 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. While this finding does not come as a surprise, it certainly creates 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.
Road Safety - Road Crashes in India
India saw a 2% increase in the number of road crashes involving two-wheelers despite the lower traffic volumes on roads in 2020. This highlights the vulnerability of two-wheeler riders, calls for better enforcement and road discipline.
