It is a misconception that 2 wheelers are the biggest accident causers. Yes, they make up a fair share of the total number of accidents taking place in Kerala, but that is because larger number of 2 wheelers ply on road compared to other vehicles. I have prepared a comparison chart from data available from government websites. Look at the accident causer index which gives an idea of how much a particular category of vehicle is the causer of accidents.
32% of accidents are caused by 2 wheelers but that is because more than 60% of vehicles plying on roads are 2 wheelers...whereas the rest of the 70% of the accidents are caused by the remaining 40% of which a major share of accidents are caused by vehicles running for commercial purposes driven by paid professional drivers...these drivers have to be educated, trained and counselled in order to reduce accidents...
2 wheeler riders are more prone injuries compared to other vehicles, and hence the riders should wear protective gear to avoid fatal injuries. Wearing helmet is important because most of the deaths during accidents are caused due to head injuries.
