Abstract
rom October 1, all new transport vehicles such as trucks, buses, dumpers and mini buses will need to install speed governors limit their speed to 80 km per hour. The existing vehicles will need to install these speed limit devices by April 1, a move aimed at taming the speed demons on Indian roads.According to a recent notification of road transport ministry, the speed limiting devices in school buses, dumpers and vehicles carrying hazardous goods will fix the speed at a maximum of 60 kmph.However, vehicles used by police, fire department, ambulances and those having nine passenger seats (including the driver) have been kept out of this rule meaning these don't need to have speed governors.The ministry has notified that the speed governors have to be installed either at the manufacturing level itself or at the level of dealers. For exiting vehicle that need retrofitting to fix these devices, the respective state governments will come out with necessary notification.
"This is a good move to put check on speeding. But we feel that for new vehicles speed governors should be an inbuilt component. Keeping the option of dealers fixing the gadget should be avoided. We expect the manufacturers to start delivering from now onwards rather than waiting for the deadline," said SP Singh of IFTRT, a think tank on transport related issues.However, it still remains a matter of debate whether till there is no lane discipline on Indian roads and all the road users using the same space whether limiting speed only for a few types of vehicles would bring the desired results.Meanwhile, the official data supports the logic behind government move. Trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles contributed to 27% of road deaths in India in 2013. Number of people killed by buses and trucks in 2013 stood at 27,813. Moreover, speeding, which has been identified as one of the top three reasons of road crashes and deaths across the globe, claimed 56,529 lives.
