Not everyone is lucky enough to come out of a vehicle crash without getting physically hurt. Carelessness can lead to serious injuries and even loss of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged between 5 to 29 years. Nearly 1.3 million people die every year because of road traffic crashes. Between 20 and 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries, which results in many having a disability. More than half of all road traffic deaths happen among vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
Ninety-three per cent of the global deaths on the roads occur in low- and middle-income nations, even though these countries have nearly 60 percent of the world’s vehicles. Road traffic injuries lead to considerable economic losses to individuals, their families, and to countries as a whole. These losses arise from the treatment cost, lost productivity for those killed or disabled by their injuries, and the family members who need to take time off work to take care of the injured. Road traffic crashes cost around 3 per cent loss of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to most of the countries.
