ABSTRACT
Road traffic injuries are one of the top causes of early death and disability around the world. India makes up a large share of global fatalities, even with recent changes in laws and court actions. This paper looks closely at the challenges India faces in improving road safety. It examines how laws and courts can hold people accountable and considers international examples from countries like Sweden, Japan, and Germany, which have lowered their accident rates. By comparing India's weaknesses with these successful models, the study points out both gaps and chances for improvement. The paper concludes with recommendations that focus on stronger enforcement, technology-based monitoring, and necessary reforms, treating road safety as an essential part of the constitutional right to life.
