It's unlikely that a fatal accident doesn't get reported. Indian media is ever hungry for news =D

And speaking based off on common-sense, fatal accidents rarely happen on congested roads. Accidents tend to happen mostly on freeways/highways, where people actually follow the traffic rules. The nature of smooth-high speed traffic is that you place a high-degree of confidence on your peers and when a simple rule is violated, the impact is tremendous. But, in a system where there is very high traffic and chaos around, you will be more careful as well as slow. kinetic energy is proportional to twice of velocity, so reducing your speed by 1/2 reduced the kinetic energy of your vehicle to a fourth =D

For the same reasons, accidents are more likely to happen at nights [also take reduced visibility into consideration]

Question to Indians: What's the speed you can maintain on an Indian road? Here in the US we drive at 60-70 miles per hour on normal roads.

convert the miles to kilometers and you got the average speed on a highway.the highways have improved to some extent these days.Back in the 90s,they were a pain in the *** in literal sense.
Within city limits the average speed is 30-40 kmph if it is somewhat free.If the road is busy you will find yourself following a sinusoidal curve of speed oscillating between 20-30 kmph.
