@rahulatiitd @kavibhalla @JSAnjaria In countries where pedestrians have practically no right of way, broken sidewalks serve as parking spots for cars and two-wheelers, and driving a big car means a license to bully others, riding a bicycle seems a scary proposition. Alas!

Pleased to share our in-house publication “Road Safety in India- Status Report 2023” authored by Prof Geetam Tiwari, @rahulatiitd, and @kavibhalla

A thread on major takeaways (1/n)

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Wow. Carmakers will hate this, but I think it's great:

A new California bill from @Scott_Wiener would require all new cars to contain speed governors that prevent them from going 10 mph+ over the speed limit.

A quick poll: An electric cycle is a bicycle with a battery-powered motor that generates additional power while the rider is actively pedaling. The same bicycle can also run solely on throttle but up to a max speed (e.g., 25 km/h). Did you know this? Tell me more in the comments.
