The move was approved to offer
better passenger as well as pedestrian safety on India's roads as thousands of
alone accounted for nearly 74,000 of the 1.51 lakh deaths in road accidents.
For the time being only luxury cars offers these kinds of crucial
safety features thus getting the same implemented in all cars will make have an
impact on the price, however it will be interesting to see if government offer
subsidy for OEMs to obtain such products to minimize the cost impact.
All the new cars will have an
audio warning feature who will give an alarm when the car crosses a speed of 80
Kmph, a more audible & serious alarm when it crosses 100 kmph and a
non-stop alarm when the vehicle crosses 12 kmph.
Talking about the manual override
system, it will ensure easy exit of passenger in case of an accident when due
to electric power failure the central locking becomes non-functional and traps
a passenger inside his car.
In order to reduce the possible
accidents while parking in back gear, all cars will be fitted with parking
sensors which will alert the driver if there are objects in the rear monitoring
range.
All the above safety features
will surely offer a safe and sound drive, however it will be interesting to see
the kind of cost impact it would have on car price. In case of a major impact,
new and first time car buyers may shift their preference towards buying a
pre-owned car.
Let’s wait and see how this new
move results in. However if you are looking for buying a pre-owned car than
head straight over to Shriram Automall, the company offers best in class range
of pre-owned cars of all makes and models to choose from under one roof.
