In 2001, American supermodel Nikki Taylor's car had an accident. She remained in a coma for a month due to a head injury. His driver was distracted by the call. Similarly, in 2012, British singer Peter Frampton Road had an accident. The woman who hit him was also chatting on mobile while driving the car.
The road accident of both these famous celebrities was very much discussed. Now, with the death of former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry in a road accident on 4 September 2022, the debate on road safety has started again.
The world's first car accident happened 153 years ago. Since then crores of people have lost their lives in such accidents till Cyrus Mistry. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.3 million people die every year due to road accidents around the world. One of the major reasons for these accidents is the use of mobiles while driving, but people in India neither accept their mistake nor learn a lesson from it.
Companies claim that these features will help the driver to drive, but they become a cause of danger as soon as you miss it...
As road accidents started increasing, the measures for road safety also intensified. Car makers started bringing more than one feature to make driving safe. Intelligent devices began to be installed in cars. Claims are being made that the journey will be comfortable and safe with them. But, are these claims completely true? Or are these features of hi-tech cars causing accidents?
Experts say that technology is making us feel safe, but it is equally distracting while driving. Taking your eyes off the road for just 2 seconds doubles the risk of a car accident. This has been revealed in a study by the US-based organization 'Triple-A Foundation for Traffic Safety'. On the other hand, the technical features in the car have increased so much that along with driving, the focus of all three eyes, hands and mind is also on using these features. One has to understand how technology is affecting the mind and psychology of the driver sitting in the driving seat.
And, it is important to understand this because, by the time you finish reading this full report, a person would have lost his life in an accident in any part of the country.
