Certainly, making dashboard cameras mandatory, with the video evidence accepted in the investigation, would protect rule-abiding motorists (Editorial, “Danger ahead,” March 13). But what about law-abiding and eco-sensitive pedestrians and cyclists? Pedestrians and cyclists are arguably the most vulnerable species on Indian roads — who are fighting global warming with every step, every day — but unfortunately in India, no one worries about them. It won’t be a surprise if they form a significant portion of 1.5 lakh people who lost their lives on the road each year since 2015, most of the time without their fault. Hence, cameras along with Global Positioning System (GPS) need to be made mandatory for motorised two-wheelers and three-wheelers also, along with other motorised vehicles. With the ever-falling prices of electronic gadgets, this won’t be costing much money, and only a political will is necessary.
