Do you think twice before boarding a UP Roadways bus because of traffic accidents? If that comes under your worry list, then you should throw it out of your mind. UP state transport, authorities have finally decided to install speed governors in all state roadways buses. The speed governors will now monitor the speed limit in all buses. The speed limit on highways will be now 60km and in cities, it is limited to 40 km. The passenger safety will now improve. 50 per cent buses are already fitted with speed governors while remaining 50 per cent will be installed with this facility soon.
Every month on an average, around 50 buses of UP Roadways meet with accident on roads. Some of them are severe accidents causing severe damage to human property and lives. In a survey it was found that in most cases over speeding is responsible along with the drunk driving.
UP Roadways Authorities are planning to counsel these drivers on a regular basis and if found that their condition is not stable, their duty charge can be terminated for that particular day so that safety parameters are not violated. Stricter action will be taken by authorities against the violators.
Drivers are now being sent to Delhi and Kanpur so that they can hone their driving skills on latest buses. Apart from this they are learning the art of evading the accidents and minimizing the loss of life and property in accidental cases. They are also learning how to evade accidents and to minimize the result of the accidents causing loss of human life and damage to the buses.
