Road accidents due to over-speeding, which was a major cause of road accidents in previous years and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol have declined nationally owing to amendments in the MVA. The rate of road traffic deaths per one lakh population over the last 15 years has approximately been 18. </span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"> </span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">The rate of road accident deaths per lakh population in 2019 in the country is 11.6.
