Modified January 6, 2025 01:35 through Cardekho for Volvo XC 90
There is no doubt that Indian highways are one of the maximum harmful roads in the world. Statistics themselves paint a dark image. On average, almost 4. 3 LAKH of injuries and 1. 55 Lakh of death occur on our roads. Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Transportation and Road Road, said a consultation of the Parliament that these figures are expanding in 2024.
The last turn of the destination involving a truck that fell above a Volvo XC90 aroused much outrage and debate about road safety. Six souls without guilt lost their lives in a car, known for having experienced global collision tests and being among the safest cars in the world.
We have used several data resources to analyze this specific destination turn: video surveillance photographs of a fuel pump versus the destination site turn and the recreation of the incident through various video renderings. These two show other perspectives of the twist of fate.
The truck force claims to have avoided a rear gate, which suddenly was due to an advertising vehicle that suddenly becomes before. This leads to the climbing of the truck in the separator, wasting the control and falls above the Volvo.
Several reports claim that the container with 26 tons of steel. The XC90 ceiling is evaluated to send one hundred kg. Simple mathematics tell us that we hope that the SUV will bring a weight 260 times more than its capacity.
Any vehicle built with the highest strength of steel, aluminum or carbon fibre wouldn’t have been able to withstand the impact.
Nitin Gadkari, although he addressed the problems in Parliament, admitted that the injuries are increasing in 2024, despite the efforts to bite it lower. One of the main spaces of fear for me, “he said.
“We are number one in the global where a driver’s license can get without problems!” He commented a Gadkari laugh in Parliament.
If you’ve got friends or relatives settled abroad, we’re sure car enthusiasts might have questioned how they got their driving licence. The process is often hard in countries such as the United Kingdom, Dubai or Germany. Training from government-approved driving schools, tough theoretical and practical exams and pre-requisites before appearing for driving tests. Failure results in additional training and re-tests before they can reapply.
When did you hear India’s friends to fail in driving tests? We bet that especially.
It is transparent that cars that do not cut the logo or that are old must be removed from roads, whether advertising or private. Unfortunately, the repercussions are higher in the case of advertising cars. For example, it is not unusual to listen to the failure of a truck brake, which leads to a turn of the destination that comes out of countless other cars on highly frequented highways such as the Mumbai-Pune highway.
The addition of fuel to the chimney in such cases is the motor force and the overloaded paintings. The regulatory controls that ensure the navigation of cars that the paintings on our roads will ensure that such incidents are not again.
I would have seen paths to be super organized in evolved countries. Everyone is to follow the field of the road, the speed limits and adheres to the law. Why then? Beyond the civic sense, the formula is super strict and violations have serious consequences.
In stark contrast, laws aren’t enforced as they should in India. A lenient system means even repeat offenders get away scot free more often than not. That’s why no one tends to follow road rules.
India is progressing on this front, the government is building many roads. A better road infrastructure leads to a more fluid and rationalized traffic and a lower traffic congestion. The protection facet must also advance with greater lighting, sealing the path from external points such as adequate animals and input problems and input problems.
India desperately needs a change with respect to such unsatisfied misadventures and the only way to modify is the group of other people and the government. Even the minister himself admitted that the formula and the company will have to change.
There are small wins such as India’s own crash test rating program (Bharat NCAP) and standardising safety features such as six airbags. There are reassurances in the form of driver training and vehicle fitness centres being developed across the country. Finally, there’s some hope with the government admitting its folly in awarding ‘lowest bidders’ and choosing to focus on quality instead. The final piece of the puzzle is stricter law enforcement.
I hope that in the long term we will see safer and stricter motorways. And I hope that animated injuries like that are just an anomaly and the standard.
