One of the major points that Aryan has brought up is the case of long haul truck drivers. In ALL of Western Europe, they had introduced a system in the early 90s of an automated disc, something like a black box, that keeps noting the number of continuous hours the truck is being hauled, the number of hours it is at rest and other details. This not only monitors the behaviour pattern of the driver but also how the truck has been driven. They enforce strict laws where no truck or bus can run for more than 7 hours in a day.

Besides this, there is another point that cause accidents is the silly practise of us Indians of driving in High Beam. And no matter how much we discuss this here, come night and when we take out our cars, we will keep our beams as high as possible!
