The police commissioner of Hubballi, Raman Gupta, said that most accidents are caused by rash driving and can be avoided with careful driving. He spoke after inaugurating a bike and car rally by the district administration rotary club Hubballi Parivar, 99 cannons motorcycle club, inner wheel club, and Hubballi Dharwad motor driving school association to mark National Road Safety Week. Gupta said that awareness on road rules is less among Indian drivers, and that social organizations should join hands with the police for the campaign. Byakod deputy commissioner of police, Crime and Traffic, said that it is mandatory to wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler, and that seat belts must be worn while driving. Hasty travel leads to accidents.
