Mount Road Chennai Dear sir,
Sub: Importance of seat belts
I’m M. Kamaraj living in Virudhunagar. I have been reading every day about road accidents. Though the law enforcement officers are making appeals to all car drivers to wear a seat belt, very few do it. It is because cheap car engines start even when the driver has not attached the seat belt. Technically, advanced cars which are above 10 lakhs are better designed and wouldn’t budge if the driver doesn’t wear the seatbelt. Such cars have additional safety mechanisms such as air pillows that prevent serious injuries in case of accidents. But the cheap cars crash and kill not only the drivers but also their loved ones.
Thrill kills! The government of India should insist on airbags and the technical viability of connecting seat belts to ignition points in a car to ensure the safety of all drivers of cars irrespective of the cost of the cars. I request you to publish this in all your city editions including that of Delhi. This may influence the Transport Minister of the Government of India to take positive action on this.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
M. Kamaraj
