A national study on safe commute to school conducted by SaveLIFE Foundation and Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India has highlighted gaps in road safety for children. The authors considered responses of 11,845 people, including 5,711 children and 6,134 parents, across 14 cities in India, including Bengaluru.
A little less than half (47%) of the respondents using school transport admitted that the vehicles were not equipped with seat belts. Around 34% of respondents using two-wheelers said that their children did not wear helmets. The study also said that 30% of children had witnessed a crash during their commute to school and 6% were themselves involved in a road crash or a near miss during their commute to and from school.
