The main cause of road accident

In the report of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the main reason for the accident has been given to speed up and drive in the wrong direction. Along with this, ignoring security rules is also playing a very important role in death in road habits. The Indian government has set a target to work up to 50% of the road accident by 2030. But to get this, the general public will have to strictly follow the traffic law. Along with this, the government is also going to start a national road safety mission to monitor public awareness and accidents.
