AD Who would have thought that driving could be safer than flying? It isn’t actually, and certainly not in India, where a life is lost every four minutes in a road accident. The pandemic, however, has turned everything on its head. With the virus still lingering, a lot of people find it safer to spend long hours (even days) on our highways, risking life and limb, rather than sit next to a stranger on a short flight.
