................. "The facts mentioned above would leave no room for doubt that Indian roads have proved to be giant killers demanding immediate attention and remedial action," a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam said while referring to data of growing road accidents and death caused due to it.

The apex court noted that road traffic accidents in 2010 numbered nearly 5,00,000 resulting in approximately 1,30,000 deaths and serious injuries including amputation of limbs to over 5,00,000 people.

"One serious road accident in the country occurs every minute and one person dies in a road traffic accident every 4 minutes. Road traffic accidents, therefore, have the potential of being one of the largest challenges to orderly human existence necessitating immediate and urgent intervention.

"Not only the existing laws, which by themselves are inadequate, are not being implemented in the right earnest; the need for changes in such laws and upgradation thereof, though admitted, are yet to see the light of the day," the apex court said. .............
