The Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns over India’s growing road safety crisis and directed strict enforcement of vehicle safety regulations across the country. In S. Rajaseekaran v. Union of India, the Court observed that “there is no concept of lane driving in this country,” highlighting lane indiscipline as a major cause of road accidents in India. The Supreme Court stressed the urgent need for strict compliance with Rule 125H of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, which mandates Vehicle Location Tracking Devices (VLTDs) and emergency panic buttons in public service vehicles. The Court noted that less than 1% of such vehicles currently comply with these mandatory safety requirements. To strengthen road safety laws and passenger protection, the Court directed that no public service vehicle should receive a fitness certificate or permit unless safety devices are installed and verified. The bench also emphasized integration with the Vahan portal for real-time monitoring and digital compliance checks. The judgment reinforces the importance of traffic rules, lane discipline, vehicle tracking systems, and effective implementation of road safety regulations under Article 21 and the Motor Vehicles Act.
