โ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐:
Despite hosting 1% of the world's vehicles, India accounts for 11% of global road traffic fatalities due to low seat belt and helmet compliance.

Two-wheeler riders (46.2%) and pedestrians (20.6%) make up the majority of road deaths, meaning seat belts only address about one-third of total mortality.

Road safety suffers from chronic shortages in traffic police, weak enforcement, and a lack of systematic adoption of the 'Safe System' approach by governments.

Move beyond judicial fiat by mandating tamper-proof vehicle design, fixing accident-prone black spots, improving trauma care, and building a comprehensive public safety culture.

Solution to Today's CSAT PYQ
Q 51 Answer is B
The passage warns that highly bred crops lack the natural genetic variety needed to survive new, climate-driven diseases, directly threatening the food supply.
Q 52 โAnswer is C Both I and II
Many students got this wrong. The statement 2 is actually correct according to the official CSAT 2025 Answer Key
โStatement I (Valid):
The passage states that plant infections will become common in "all climatic zones," which inherently requires those diseases to migrate.
โStatement II (Valid):
The author blames crop vulnerability on the loss of "genetic variations" due to selective breeding.
This relies on the assumption that studying the wild relatives of these crops which still naturally hold those lost genes is the logical pathway to restoring food security.
