While Britain now has low road deaths, factors like speeding, drunk driving, lack of helmets and seatbelts contribute to accidents in other countries like India, which has over 130,000 annual deaths making it the worst country for road safety. The document advocates for strict enforcement of traffic rules and speed limits to reduce accidents.
