- Delhi is adding 1000 vehicle per day to roads.
With so many vehicles added on the Indian roads. The process in public transport is that first roads are built and then traffic managment and then growth in vehicles. But in India process is reverse and So many vehicles are coming. There are not enough roads to handle vehicles. There is no parking and vehicle are kept on the road side. Traffic rules are worse as licence is issued to minors and that to at home. We see that traffic logjam is increasing day by day. With 1,34,000 road accidents death and 21 million serious injuries ,India is in top list of road accidents.

Roads are like arteries of human body and there are chocked by traffic jams which is increasing day by day. So in one view future of motor surveyors is bright but as a human we must think and act so than precious life and property can be saved. your views awaited.
