The good news is that the number of road accidents is down 30% from a decade earlier. Perhaps the reason Goa roads are so unsafe stems from how they drive, not how much. This tells us that the absence of vehicular density is where road accidents are happening in the state. According to official data, 91% of all violations leading to road accidents were due to overspeeding. When considering all the evidence, it is clear that Goa’s road safety record is neither a result of mere chance nor broader industry-wide trends.
