Didn't move for 15 minutes right in front of my house. This was yesterday. Such times, I do have dreams of conversing with a god! I dreamt that it was willed by a god to reduce accidents! Fair enough!
Then I saw this ad this morning, it was on yesterdays TOI ! It was a half page ad by 'Karnataka State Road Safety Authority' (Hope someone thinks about 'Accountability'
May be the result of a recent news wherein a few teenagers died as their car turned turtle as it rode a road divider.
Borrowed the pic from the Ad.

| Perhaps this sticker on Vehicles should be mandatory! |
Which gave me a Eureka moment! Fix a sticker on vehicles who have CAUSED accidents as "Accident Prone'!' to start with!
Make it mandatory for all 'politics' based tv channels to display 'road accidents of the day' during their ad breaks.
Then I asked AI feeling rather guilty! Whether there were displays like we see for AQI in some parts of Bengaluru!
There is no universal public live billboard or real-time daily display showing road accidents on public streets in India, though official online portals and periodic proposals exist.
- Police Dashboards: Traffic authorities—such as the Bengaluru Traffic Police Accident Statistics—maintain online safety analytics and monthly/yearly accident breakdowns rather than a live outdoor counter.
- E-Accident Reporting: Initiatives like Karnataka’s e-accident reporting system track minor daily filings (averaging around 60 minor cases a day in Bengaluru) for insurance and police records, which are managed via internal department portals rather than public display boards.
- Public Proposals: Public health and policy researchers have increasingly proposed setting up real-time "trauma dashboards" or electronic display boards at major junctions—similar to air quality or weather indices—to raise daily awareness, though these are not yet standard practice.
- India: Roughly 1,200 to 1,300 road accidents and around 475 to 500+ fatalities occur every single day.
- Karnataka: Averages around 31 deaths and over 86 injuries daily.
- Bengaluru: Averages roughly 14 to 15 recorded accident cases per day (with roughly 60 minor fender-benders logged daily through digital insurance
