CONDITION OF ROAD TRANSPORT IN INDIA

Road transport in lndia is very popular for various reasons, but the condition of lndian roads is very poor. The rate at which road-accidents and fatality in the country occur is very high. Pressure on roads has been increasing and the number of vehicles as well.

Lack of road-sense has further complicated the matters. Driving licenses are given on illegal gratifications to the authorities and traffic rules and regulations are thrown to the winds. Overloading is one of the major factors of road- accidents and deaths. The condition of the vehicles is hardly found road-worthy.
