Road accidents are an unfortunate reality of driving and the world of automobiles. However, we must prioritize safety and traffic regulations at all costs.
According to the report by National Crime Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu leads the list of most accidents in India. The southernmost state bears this undesirable record according to the data for 2021. It is closely followed by other states like Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. We must mention here that these stats represent the number of cases that are reported. But there are many occasions where an official police complaint is not lodged either because the loss is not that significant or there is a mutual agreement between the parties involved.

Also, you must encourage people around you to follow traffic rules and report reckless drivers or the miscreants who create ruckus on the roads. That is the only way to safeguard our roads.
