The reports (“1.46 lakh lives lost on Indian roads last year” and “Tamil Nadu tops in road accidents”, June 10) are horrifying. S.

It is not difficult to enforce rules and bring some sanity back to our roads. A major reason is the increase in the number of vehicles when compared to the available road length. Sometime ago there was a report that very few cars in India met minimal safety standards after a crash test.
