Hello,
As technology keeps improving day by day, there are few things that we take for granted, and one of it is, "Road Safety".
In countries like India, where a huge sector of the population depends on public transport system, globalization has made it possible for people to use private vehicles extensively.

As the number of vehicles increase, the advantages and disadvantages also increases rationally. Equal importance has to be given to the traffic standards and the awareness to strictly follow road safety norms has to be implanted in every citizen.
I have taken few sample datasets from OGD (Open Government Data) from the following URL (http://data.gov.in) with statistics on the road accidents in India. The input files were in *.csv formats. SAP Lumira did a very good job of importing the data from the .csv files, with options to choose and edit the column attributes.
I like shared a few visualizations with you that will help us understand that our negligence to follow traffic rules has a big impact on the society.

Overall Inference:
With various data visualization patterns, it is very evident that Tamilnadu has to give more importance towards road safety norms in order to reduce the number of accidents.
