In an interview with Hindus, the CH Nagaraju transport commissioner said most of the deaths of a pedestrian and two bike riders concerning buses or trucks occur due to blind places of heavy vehicles. “Given that approximately three quarters of road accident victims in a state where up to 3,875 people were killed in 48,841 accidents in 2024, motorcyclists and pedestrians are expected to reduce the number of fatal accidents and increase overall road safety,” he said.
“The blind place of the mirror stands only a few hundred rupees. The latest heavy vehicles come with blind points and cameras on the back of safety. The cameras are activated when the vehicle is about to roll. Heavy vehicles whose body is built separately.
Training to be provided
All road transport authorities (RTOs) were ordered to ensure proper training on the use of blind points for all stage vehicles, heavy goods, heavy passenger vehicles, educational buses, contractual vehicles, etc. on a blind point test. Instructions for all driving schools will be issued to educate students on the use of blind spots before they submit them for management tests.
“Similarly, when passengers out of buses tend to cross the road too close to the stationary vehicle, there is a possibility to remain hidden from the driver’s glance, often leading to fatal accidents. Students are too passing straight, sometimes approaching their bikes and sometimes approaching to blind points. The fact that it is approaching to approach their bike, and that it is, and often approaching, and often approaching to close to approaching their bike. Nagaraju.
