Kerala mulls digital profiling of drivers with traffic violation, accident records

What's behind this

Pinarayi Vijayan said a recent spate of accidents is a consequence of the UDF government’s attempts to undermine road safety, noting that robust initiatives to curb accidents and instil systematic traffic discipline were implemented during the previous LDF government’s tenure, which the UDF mocked and opposed. The Kerala government is now mulling a digital driver‑profiling mechanism to identify habitual traffic violators and drivers with a history of accidents and reckless driving as part of a wider road‑safety initiative. Earlier, Keralam formed a road‑safety mission to check road fatalities, with Mammootty named as brand ambassador.
