• The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020, officially proclaimed
by the UN General Assembly in March 2011, seeks
to save millions of lives by building road safety management capacity;
improving the safety of road infrastructure;
further developing the safety of vehicles;
enhancing the behaviour of road users; and
improving post-crash response.
• Guided by the Global Plan, the Decade of Action offers a framework for
policy, practice and advocacy to help countries achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals.
Target to reduce road accidents by 50% by 2020
63. 63
• The concept of Vision Zero first originated in Sweden in 1997, when the
Swedish parliament adopted it as the official road policy.
• Founded on the belief that loss of life is not an acceptable price to pay
for mobility.
• Vision Zero takes a systems approach to enhancing safety. Rather than
exclusively faulting drivers and other users of the transportation
system.
• Vision Zero places the core responsibility for accidents on the overall
system design, addressing infrastructure design, vehicle technology,
and enforcement.
• The approach has resulted in noteworthy successes – Sweden has one
of the lowest annual rates of road deaths in the world (3 out of 100,000
as compared to 12.3 in the United States). Not only that, but fatalities
involving pedestrians have fallen almost 50% in the last five years.
64. 64
• According to professor Claus Tinqvall, one of the architects of
Sweden’s Vision Zero policy, system design should be based on the
premise that humans are fallible, and will make mistakes. “If you take a
nuclear power station, if you take aviation, if you take a rail system, all
of them are based on [the idea that] they are operated by people who
can make a mistake.” The same understanding should influence
roadway design, where traffic calming, well-marked crosswalks and
pedestrian zones, and separated bike lanes can help minimize the
consequences of a mistake. According to Vision Zero philosophy, “In
every situation a person might fail. The road system should not.”
• The public health imperative behind Vision Zero is clear: increasing the
safety of our streets not only saves lives, but also makes it easier and
more enticing for people to engage in daily physical activity by walking
and biking.
65. 65
• Further reduce Fatalities
• Pedestrians Safety.
• Implementation of Helmet Rule for Pillion Riders.
• Ensuring Jail Sentence for motorists booked for Drunken Driving.
• Enhancing drive against over-speeding vehicles, particularly at newly
constructed Highways and Bridges.
• Automatic Enforcement of traffic offences such as Red Light Jumping,
Over-Speeding, Wrong Overtaking on Bridges.
• Implementation of E-Challan Project.
• Strict and Enhanced penalties for Repeat Offenders including
cancellation of licenses.
Goa Focus Areas for 2019
66. 4th May 2017, Calling attention motion in Goa
Assembly by Hon’ble MLA Sh. Pratap Singh Rane
“….326 people died in road accidents last
year (in road accidents) due to reckless
driving by not following proper traffic rules
and signs. This year also the number of
deaths are no less everyday. Will the Minister
for Transport and Home inform the house
what action Govt. intends to take to prevent
deaths and mayhem on the roads of
innocent person due to reckless driving”
66
67. Excerpts from reply of Hon’ble CM
in Assembly
• “Every death pains me…”
• “There is need to strengthen enforcement
on usage of helmet. Not wearing of helmet
is one of the causes for deaths amongst
motorcyclists”.
• Assured the State Legislative Assembly to
reduce the total number of accidental
deaths by 30-40 percent in next five years.
• Source https://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/CM-assures-to-
reduce-accident-deaths-by-up-to-40/114998.html 67
72. Do you sincerely believe in helmet?
• If no, then say so.
– Why carry a helmet as a burden? For
Rs.100!!!!!
• If yes,
– Why poor quality helmet?
– Why not tie strap properly?
– Why only on highways?
– Why not for your wife, relatives and friends
sitting as pillion?
– Why blame Sentinel App 72
75. Section 129 MV Act
• Every person driving or riding shall while in
a public place , wear protective headgear
conforming to the standards of BIS….
• Provided that state govt. may, by such
rules, provide for such exceptions as it
may think fit.
75
76. Ravi Shekhar Bhardwaj vs.
DGP Maharashtra 2003
• PIL in Mumbai High Court
• “The expression “as it may think fit” can
not totally make principal provision (Sec
129) nugatory and redundant”
76
77. Ajay Canu vs. Union of India
and others 1988
• SC Judgement
• “We do not think that there is any fundamental
right against any act aimed at doing some public
good. Even if assuming that the impugned rule
has put a restriction on the exercise of
fundamental right under article 19 (1) (d) of the
constitution, such restriction being in the interest
of the general public, is a reasonable restriction
protected under article 19 (5) of the constitution.”
77
78. Sec 138(4)(f) CMV Rules
• At the time of purchase of the two wheeler,
the manufacturer of the two wheeler shall
supply a protective headgear conforming
to specifications prescribed by the Bureau
of Indian Standards under the Bureau of
Indian Standards Act, 1986 (63 of 1986):
Provided that these conditions shall not apply to category of persons
exempted in terms of section 129 and the rules made there under by
the concerned State Government.
78
79. SC Judgement 2017
• SC rejects petition seeking directive not to
make wearing of helmet compulsory.
79
91. The final word
• Have Faith in Road Safety Principles
• Believe in your logical reasoning
• Do not do it for traffic cop sake or to save
Rs 100 fine
• Do not generate excuses for not following
road safety rules
• You have no right to take life of others
• Causing death by rash and negligent act
needs harsh penalty (304 A IPC is bailable)
• Law of probability also applies to death
91
92. Those who do not believe in road safety should
donate organs and buy a life insurance policy

94. या दिल की सुनो दुनियावालों या मुझको अभी
चुप रहिे दो
मैं ग़म को खुशी कै से कह दूँ
जो कहते हैं उिको कहिे दो……..

कु छ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहिा......

अच्छा चलता हूँ दुआओं में याद रखिा
मेरे ज़िक्र का जुबां पे स्वाद रखिा
ददल के संदकों में मेरे अच्छे काम रखिा
चचट्ठी तारों में भी मेरा त सलाम रखिा
Thank you
good bye
