“…The fatal injury panorama was characterized by head and chest injuries, as previously reported by, for example, Green et al (1994). The proportion of head injuries seems to have increased since the 1980s (cf.…”

“…9 Use of seatbelts was one of the most cost effective way to prevent RTA related morbidity and mortality. 10,11 Twenty eight (28) participants admitted that they used mobile phones without hands free devices while driving. Furthermore, nearly 12% participants agreed to having exceeded speed limits while driving.…”

INTRODUCTIONIn most regions of the world the global epidemic of traffic injuries is still increasing.1 In India motor vehicle population is growing at a faster rate than the economic and population growth.2 It has been estimated that unless immediate action is taken, road deaths will rise to the fifth leading cause of deaths by 2030. It may result in an estimated 2.4 million fatalities per year. Half of all road traffic deaths are among pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, and adults aged between 15 and 44 years account for 59% of deaths. It has been estimated that unless immediate action is taken, road deaths will rise to the fifth leading cause of deaths by 2020. 4 Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are the leading cause of death among individuals aged 15 to 29 and second leading cause of mortality among 20-24 years ABSTRACT Background: In most regions of the world the global epidemic of traffic injuries is still increasing. In India motor vehicle population is growing at a faster rate than the economic and population growth. It has been estimated that unless immediate action is taken, road deaths will rise to the fifth leading cause of deaths by 2020.The present study was aimed to assess the level of awareness regarding road safety among the study participants and to study the behavior patterns while using motorized vehicles among the study participants. Methods:The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Sri Siddhartha Dental College, Tumkur. All Undergraduate students were included in the study. A total of 200 students were studied. They all drive either their own vehicles or others' vehicles. They were aged from 17-27 years. The study period was from October 2016 to November 2016. Results: In total, 200 dental students were studied, ranging from 1 st to final year BDS of age 17-27years; the mean age being 21.67 and standard deviation of 3.170.Only 148(74%) wear helmet and only 61(30.5%) interpreted Gap-InMedian correct. Conclusions: The awareness regarding road safety measures among the study participants was satisfactory but interpretation of traffic signs was poor-only 30.5% interpreted gap-in-median correct. The behavioral patterns among dental students are not satisfactory-only 74% of students wear helmet while riding, only 81.5% wear seat belts and 23.5% don't follow lane rules while driving.

“…Thus, for example, in Mackay's study [2] death occurred in the first hour following the crash in the case of 82% of the 120 belted front seat passengers, and according to Green et al [6] in the case of 90% of the 8839 belted motorists. Death occurred before arrival at hospital in 73% of cases according to Mackay et al [2].…”

“…The precise nature of the injuries is rarely described. Green et al [6] explains that, in the case of AIS 4-6 head injuries (severe, critical, or maximum, that is to say fatal or possibly responsible for death), intracranial injuries are more numerous than bone injuries and that in the case of thoracic injuries rib fractures outnumber cardiovascular injuries. In the case of the abdomen, visceral injuries outnumber vascular injuries.…”
