It's a promise of peace of mind, a shield of security, and a statement that used car owners deserve better.

CARS24 introduces 'Crashfree India' to eliminate road fatalities by 2040
In a move to tackle India's silent road safety crisis, auto-tech platform CARS24 has launched Crashfree India —a mission-driven non-profit aimed at achieving zero road fatalities by 2040. The new initiative seeks to shift the narrative from apathy to action, declaring road deaths not as accidents but as systemic failures rooted in poor infrastructure, weak enforcement, and fractured regulations. The initiative is structured around five pillars. First is crash data infrastructure , which focuses on creating one of India's largest open crash data platforms using AI to map blackspots and predict high-risk zones. Second is on policy innovationcentred on collaborating with authorities to move from reactive fines to proactive, enforceable safety systems. The third pillar is human-centered road design , which rests on partnering with civic bodies to redesign dangerous roads and intersections. The fourth pillar is about behavioural change at scalethat focuses on launching science-driven, community-level campaigns to reshape attitudes without fearmongering. The last fifth pillar is tech for safety , centred on building open APIs and digital tools for real-time crash alerts , reporting, and safety integration in car resale and fleet management. Intention behind the initiative A key component of the initiative is increasing awareness about India's Good Samaritan Law , offering legal protection to bystanders who assist crash victims. Crashfree India plans to recognise these heroes and provide training to empower more citizens to step in without hesitation. 'Crashfree India is our most important bet yet—not to build a better business, but a better India,' said Vikram Chopra, CEO & Co-founder, CARS24. 'We may not reach zero quickly, but we'll never stop moving toward it.' Backed by road safety experts from Vision Zero Trust and the Indian Road Safety Council, Crashfree India also invites collaboration from governments, NGOs, startups, academic institutions, and citizens to transform road safety into a national mission.

Traffic fines in India top Rs 12,000 crore, exceeding GDP of several small nations: Report
New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI): A recent survey report by CARS24 has revealed that traffic violation fines imposed in India have surpassed the GDP of many small nations. According to its 2024 report, approximately 8 crore traffic challans were issued, with total fines of around Rs 12,000 crore. This means almost every second vehicle on the road has been fined at least once. However, a significant portion (Rs 9,000 crore) remains unpaid. Out of the 140 crore people living in India, only 11 crore own a vehicle. This shows that a relatively small section of the population is responsible for a large number of violations, raising concerns about traffic discipline and accountability. Many drivers follow traffic rules only when law enforcement is present, indicating that fear rather than habit drives asked who adjusts their driving based on law enforcement, only 43.9 per cent of the respondents claimed they follow traffic rules regardless of whether police are present. On the other hand, 31.2 per cent said they occasionally check for police before adjusting their driving, while 17.6 per cent admitted to actively monitoring their surroundings to avoid being fined. This highlighted that many drivers consider traffic rules to be optional unless law enforcement is visibly present. The survey also looked into how people react upon spotting a traffic police officer. As many as 51.3 per cent said they immediately check their speed and ensure they follow the rules. Another 34.6 per cent said they slow down instinctively, even if they are not breaking any rules. Meanwhile, 12.9 per cent said they either change their driving behaviour or take a detour to avoid getting caught. When it comes to the impact of surveillance on road behaviour, 47 per cent of the respondents claimed they drive the same way regardless of CCTV cameras. Around 36.8 per cent admitted to slowing down only when they spot a camera, and 15.3 per cent said they adjust their driving only for speed cameras, ignoring other types. Surveillance technology alone is not enough to bring about behavioural change unless penalties are strict enough to instil fear. The report illuminates a crucial road safety issue in India, pointing to the need for a stronger enforcement system and greater public awareness to encourage responsible driving habits. The report highlights the need for a stronger enforcement system and greater public awareness to encourage responsible driving habits. According to the Road and Transport Ministry, 1,68,491 people died in 2022 due to traffic violations, leading to accidental deaths in India. The findings emphasise the importance of stricter enforcement and public awareness to promote road safety and responsible driving habits in India. (ANI)

Unpaid traffic fines cross ₹9,000 crore as violations continue unchecked
A new traffic violation report has revealed that Indian motorists were issued challans worth ₹12,000 crore in 2024, with nearly ₹9,000 crore still unpaid. The findings point to widespread non-compliance with traffic rules across the country, raising concerns about enforcement and public accountability. The CARS24 report states that over 8 crore challans were issued last year, amounting to nearly one for every two registered vehicles. Overspeeding made up nearly half of all violations, followed by non-use of helmets and seatbelts, illegal parking, and jumping traffic signals. Despite these offences carrying financial and legal consequences, only around 25 per cent of fines have been paid. Daily violations and regional disparities In Gurugram, traffic authorities issued more than 4,500 challans each day in 2024, collecting ₹10 lakh daily in penalties. In Noida, fines for helmet-related violations totalled ₹3 lakh in a single month. Some of the most severe cases include a two-wheeler rider in Bengaluru who accumulated ₹2.91 lakh in fines from 475 separate violations, and a truck owner in Haryana fined ₹2,00,500 for overloading by 18 tonnes. The data also shows that traffic violations are widespread across vehicle types, with 55 per cent of challans issued to four-wheelers and 45 per cent to two-wheelers. Consequences and cultural trends Unpaid fines may lead to suspension of driving licences, cancellation of registration certificates, increased insurance premiums, and court summons. The report suggests that penalties alone may be insufficient deterrents without stronger enforcement systems and behavioural change. 'Every traffic violation is a silent vote against civic order. If we want safer cities, we need a cultural shift from compliance out of fear to responsibility out of pride,' said Gajendra Jangid, Co-Founder of CARS24. The report calls for enhanced use of technology, such as automated challan systems and AI surveillance, to improve accountability. However, it concludes that a shift in mindset towards responsible driving is essential for long-term road safety.
