Letter Published in The National UAE on 9 Sep 22 With reference to RamolaTalwar Badam's article Cyrus Mistry's death puts spotlight on India's dismal road safety record (September 6): The tragic death of the 54 year old former chief executive of Tata begs the question whether a seatbelt could have prevented the two deaths in this accident. According to several reports, Cyrus Mistry, sitting in the backseat, was not wearing the seat belt. On the highway it is also dangerous to drive too slowly but speeding didn't help at all. This should be a cautionary tale for all. K.Ragavan, Bengaluru, India
