A Glimpse into India's Highway Safety Failures A recent incident on Kerala's Koothattukulam Piravom Road serves as a stark reminder of India's deplorable record when it comes to road safety.
On this occasion, a tourist bus overturned at a petrol pump after its driver swerved sharply to avoid a two wheeler turning without warning, injuring 20 passengers.
India's highways are plagued by poor maintenance and inadequate infrastructure, which often leads to accidents. However, the lack of accountability among drivers and vehicle owners is perhaps even more disconcerting.
