road safety

2020 is memorable for lockdowns and you might think there would have been no road crashes then! Given that the daily average of road crashes and fatalities for 2019 were 1230 and 414, it is not much of a reduction in 2020! This underlines the need for immediate implementation of #MVAA2019 and continued focus on enforcement.

From the catchy slogans about road rules you see on autos to fining two-wheeler drivers & pillion riders for not wearing #helmets, the Greater Chennai Traffic Police are promoting road safety in various ways. Kudos to the authorities for initiating these much needed measures.

Female family members of a road crash victim often take up an extra job in addition to the burden of daily household chores & caregiving. This impact remains underreported in policy making and increases time poverty. PC: V Srinivasan on Unsplash #RoadSafety #RoadAccidents 

Tamil Nadu shows the highest post-crash costs incurred due to income loss. The extra costs on post-crash care or the victim’s funeral destabilises family budgets and increases Out Of Pocket Expenditure, a burden felt more severely by low income households. This calls for implementation of the interim compensation as per Section 164A of the MVAA, 2019. PC: Ayaneshu Bhardwaj on Unsplash

Crashes on Indian roads claim about 150,000 lives & disable about 750,000 people yearly. Social welfare losses at an individual level makes the entire family vulnerable. Factoring these impacts is necessary to institutionalise social security.
