Soon after the National Highways Authority of India(NHAI) banned two-wheelers and three-wheelers such as auto-rickshaws on the Bengaluru Mysuru Expressway, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on Wednesday in a release said that in the past six months, two-wheelers were involved in around 30% accidents, majority of which were fatal or grievous injuries on the expressway.
The data shared by the ministry reveals that vehicles like cars and bikes accounted for 65% to 75% of over-speeding-related accidents, reaching speeds of up to 160 kmph.
