Traffic cops and experts blame poor driving habits, casual attitude for cases.
Accidents mostly are consequences of negligence or even rash behaviour on roads, which people can definitely steer clear of by driving responsibly and in a disciplined manner. This is all the more poignant in face of the fact that close to 10% of road accident victims in the city end up losing their lives.
In fact, every year on an average Ahmedabad loses over 200 people to fatal road mishaps, revealed data released by the city traffic police. In fact, 2012 was the deadliest year for the city as far as death due to accidents was concerned. Against an average 9% to 11% death, 2012 saw a death rate of 13.5%. Of the 1,850 accidents that were recorded for the year, 251 lost their lives. |
