The sedan’s front and the rear has been disintegrated completely in the accident. However, the cabin looks intact. Even the occupants must have fastened the seat belts, which saved their lives.

Dangers of overspeeding

Overspeeding can be extremely dangerous on the Indian roads. It is extremely important to follow speed restrictions as they have been put in place after taking the surroundings into consideration. Why is overspeeding so dangerous?

• Overspeeding gives you less time to react. If there’s a stray cattle or pedestrian on the road, you get more time to react at a slower speed.
• Never over-speed inside the city limits, city roads are much more prone to such incidents where a stray animal or pedestrian walks suddenly on the road.
• On the highways, overspeeding can cause the vehicle to lose control easily. The car’s steering becomes much more sensitive and the body roll increases at high-speed making the vehicle susceptible the loss of control.
