Every year in Pakistan around 30,000 people die in road accidents. Why, in the world’s fifth largest country, would they have such a high rate of road safety incidents? We spoke with Dr Muhammed Navid Tahir about the lack of road safety lead agency, and the difficulty in changing driver behavior.
Key takeaways:
