The number of people killed in road accidents far outnumber those killed in terror attacks or natural calamity in the country... So with an aim to reduce road deaths and to bring in the much-needed reforms in India's transport sector, the government brought the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill. In its 2017 version, the Bill had been approved in the Lower House, but could not get past the Rajya Sabha and lapsed after dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha. Earlier this week, the Lok Sabha cleared the Bill, paving the way for it to be considered and passed in the Rajya Sabha.
