The report on the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2016, said most accidents happen due to over speeding.
New Delhi: A Parliamentary Panel has recommended that speed limit on different roads may be reconsidered in wake of increasing number of vehicles in the country. The panel said that on most of the roads in a place like Delhi, speed limit was same what was written some 20-30 years ago. It recommended that the government should prescribe inbuilt speed limits suitable for Indian roads in vehicles made for use in the country. If the recommendation is accepted by the government, vehicles manufactured in India would be having limited acceleration capability and speed limit on several roads may also be increased.
