The story so far:
India has the world’s largest road network, spanning about 6.7 million kilometres, larger than the U.S.’s 6.59 million km and China’s 5.49 million km, but it also records the world’s highest road fatalities. Over-speeding and reckless driving, poor road upkeep, inadequate driver training, and weak emergency and trauma care continue to make road crashes a severe public-safety crisis.
