MALAYSIA aims to reduce the number of road accident deaths from the current index of 12.19 per one billion Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (VKT) to 10 by 2020. The index stood at 21.1 in 2004.
VKT is the total in kilometres travelled by motor vehicles on any particular road system during a given period of time, and it is used as an indicator to measure road safety performance in a particular country.
