A large number of deaths on road accidents every year have been a characteristic feature of India. We need to find the political will to enforce stringent laws. A fraction of these deaths are due to passengers in the back-seat not wearing seat belts even when they travel on the high way. Every major city has a high speed road going to the airport and tens of thousands of taxis ply on these roads every day in every metro. The majority of these taxis have seat belts buried under the seats and inaccessible to passengers. Taxi operators do not consider them necessary. Most taxi drivers say they cannot help you by taking the seat belt out. We don't have to die because of the taxi operators' irresponsibility.
