BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Every year approximately 1.35 million people loss their lives in road accidents. Moreover, between 20 million to 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury.
