According to the government's calculation, the hope of collecting many times the amount of money spent on surveillance cameras installed along the roads at a cost of 232 crore rupees will not be in vain. The move to make seat belts mandatory for those driving heavy vehicles and their companions could be because of this. New sources may be gradually sought if increased fines from those who do not wear seat belts in large vehicles are found to be profitable. Kerala is already at the top of the list of states that levy maximum fines for traffic violations. AI cameras across the state will only increase the revenue from levying fines. There is one more thing, the government is also creating an opportunity to increase the business of seat belt manufacturers. The revenue generated through the back door from this is an additional income.

Wearing a seat belt does not necessarily reduce accident rates. Good road culture is the first step to reducing accidents and deaths. If drivers are willing to follow road rules and discipline on the roads, accidents can be significantly reduced and accidental deaths can be limited. Instead of giving priority to such issues, the transport department is researching how violations can be converted into money. While tightening traffic rules to be followed by drivers and passengers, the government is failing to provide adequate facilities to ensure smooth travel. Roads are full of bumps and potholes everywhere. Many motorists have died after falling into potholes left uncovered by various departments.

Flagpoles and huge billboards that obscure the view of the road are unique to this place alone. Apart from several ultimatums by the High Court to immediately remove the flux boards, arches, and flagpoles on the roadside, it is never removed. Roads are closed for several hours even for the rallies held in connection with the annual meeting of the service organizations. It is the same police who force the drivers to follow the law, that issues the notification in this regard as well. The situation is such that the public has to vacate the roads not only on the occasion of VIP visits but on any occasion when they are on the road. If those who want to install cameras and impose fines are sincere, they should also be able to provide facilities for smooth movement. The focus is not on reducing accidents but on fines for violations.
