Sometimes while travelling there are blind spots that can lead to severe accidents resulting in loss of life. Therefore it is always advised to be cautious on the road while travelling in a car or a motorcycle.
Meanwhile, the police across the country have always advised people who are travelling on the bike to wear a helmet. Several videos of such horrible accidents have appeared online where people have been saved in the nick of the moment due to helmets. As per information shared by the World Bank, with only 1 per cent of the world's vehicles, India witnessed almost 10 per cent of crash-related deaths.
World Bank's report further states that each year road accidents cost the Indian economy between 5 per cent and 7 per cent of GDP.
