Police sources were quoted as saying that the passengers were not wearing their seat belts. The <strong>tragic (Very sad; especially involving grief, death or destruction) <\/strong>and avoidable accident should heighten awareness of the need for car safety <strong>deployments (Positioning) <\/strong>and their enforcement by road safety authorities. It is well understood today that the use of low-cost restraint systems such as seat belts and airbag equipment have helped reduce car passenger-related <strong>fatalities (A death resulting from an accident or a disaster) <\/strong>effectively. Studies, quoted in a road safety report prepared by the Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Centre, IIT Delhi, in November 2021, estimated that \u201cair-bag deployment reduced mortality by 63%&#8230; lap-shoulder-belt use reduced mortality by 72%, and combined air-bag and seatbelt use reduced mortality by more than 80%\u201d. While awareness about and enforcement of seat belt use have relatively increased over time despite <strong>stark (extreme) <\/strong>numbers on <strong>non-compliance (failure to act in accordance with a wish or command) <\/strong>related deaths (the Road Transport Ministry estimated that 26,896 people had died due to non-use of seat belts in accidents in 2017), the enforcement for belt wearing for rear seat occupants has been almost non-existent. This is a shame as a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, U.S., shows that rear seat occupants were eight times more likely to suffer serious injuries in a <strong>mishap (An unpredictable outcome that is unfortunate) <\/strong>if they did not <strong>buckle up (fasten one&#8217;s seat belt in a vehicle or aircraft.)<\/strong> than if they did. Other aspects such as the proper use of headrests also help in reducing injuries due to <strong>whiplash (An injury to the neck (the cervical vertebrae) resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration (as in an automobile accident)) <\/strong>during accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another worrying trend identified by the IIT Delhi report is that while national highways constitute only 2% of the total length of roads in India, they contribute to 36% of fatalities. While the <strong>proximate (Closest in degree or order (space or time) especially in a chain of causes and effects) <\/strong>cause of deaths and injuries to passengers in this particular accident was high speed driving, <strong>in line (in agreement with)<\/strong> with the NCRB\u2019s findings that 56% of India\u2019s road accidents in 2021 were caused due to overspeeding, it is also true that policing has often <strong>resorted (Have recourse to) <\/strong>to simplistic methods to determine \u2018driver\u2019s fault\u2019 in most road accidents. The road safety report points out that the NCRB\u2019s figures were a gross underestimate and the only way to reduce fatalities was to institute evidence-based, India-specific and effective road safety policies. These include looking at <strong>composite (A conceptual whole made up of complicated and related parts) <\/strong>factors such as poor road design and maintenance of road and traffic infrastructure in fixing responsibility for accidents. One suggestion \u2014 the removal of medians on intercity highways and replacement with steel guard rails or wire rope barriers \u2014 also <strong>merits (deserve) <\/strong>consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update your vocabulary with the help of this analysis of The Hindu Editorial.
