A report from Bengaluru Traffic department has indicated that the year 2019 was a bad year for motorists. At one end, the city has seen a reduction in travel time, but on the other hand, 698 lives have been lost.

According to experts, majority of the victims are people aged between 18 and 35. As there is a tendency to ride very fast during early morning and late evening on relatively emptier roads, motorists end up crashing  into or get hit by other vehicles from the opposite direction.
