I dont agree that India still has a long way to go.

two main reasons.

1. The fastest I travelled in India was 155kmph on the ahmedabad baroda expressway for a max of maybe 10mins. in the Europeans countries and N.American countries the max speeds are much higher. Plus the snow and fog conditions make it compulsary to have the safety equipments. The average speed of a car in India wont be more than 20-40kmph which is much slower than In the above mentioned countries.

2. India already has cars on sale which have ABS, Airbags and TCS, crumple zone, Side impact beams and what not. you can have a swift with abs and airbags for 5lakhs. Its the consumer that doesnt want ot buy a car with more safety.

and most important of all such safety equipment is uselessif seatbelts are not fastened.


So all T-bhpians decide on 2 things from today

1. A team-bhp front driver and passenger will always wear seatbelts.
2. A team-bhp member will only buy a car which has ABS and airbags as standard.
