    I heard on a TV program over here that something like 75% of vehicles in India that survive for 5 years will have been involved in at least one fatal accident. Don't know if that is actually true or not but that video would suggest that it might be.

    That seems to be a bit of an exaggeration, but a large number of collisions do occur. We don’t have the roads to support the increasing number of vehicles, and a bigger factor is that there are too many two-wheeled vehicles and pedestrians sharing the roads with much bigger and faster moving vehicles.

      Yes, middle lane in a 3 lane road too. That was a WTF that got ignored because of the much bigger WTF.

      All of it seems a bit WTF!

        I agree. The guy on the motorcycle was attempting to cross the road against traffic (perhaps to park on the opposite side). There were pedestrians crossing the road casually. And all this from 50 seconds of footage.

          You don't really have the traffic rules to prevent it either, do you? ;) ;P

            Traffic rules only work when the traffic rate is below a certain threshold. Once it goes beyond that there are no rules.

                    Probably in a bigger city then. I've been stuck in traffic in LA, Chicago, New York, and Toronto. And while the traffic was horrible (long weekends too), there were such things as shoulders available for emergency vehicles and cop cars, and there were no pedestrians or bikes on the freeways. In most Indian cities (barring the big ones), there are no real freeways, you just have high speed highways where you have pedestrans, auto-rickshaws,and bikes sharing the road, and no shoulders of any kind at all. Most roads are 2-lane, two-way traffic. One-way streets are rare. Given that background, obeying rules would mean staying home.

                      No, it was a small(ish) city, and the traffic was exactly as you describe it. But I will still maintain that you are wrong in this respect. having a minimum of traffic rules and having people obey them will not mean any less smooth traffic. On the contrary, It will mean smoother traffic and less accidents and less casualties. On the other hand, I realise that I am in no position to argue with everybody in a country that is as big as India. :laugh: Besides, I don't really have the inclination to do so, and frankly I don't think I need to either. You will either find out yourself in due time or you wont, and in either case it won't do much to spoil the charm of your nice country.

                                I heard on a TV program over here that something like 75% of vehicles in India that survive for 5 years will have been involved in at least one fatal accident. Don't know if that is actually true or not but that video would suggest that it might be.

                                I think that may be the relative issue, if you define survive as roadworthy then you probably eliminate 90% of 5+ yo cars.

                                  I have to agree with Nish - that sounds like an urban myth.  I'd be more inclined to think that 75% of vehicles in India that are older than 5 years have been involved in a fender bender. /ravi

                                      I agree. The guy on the motorcycle was attempting to cross the road against traffic (perhaps to park on the opposite side). There were pedestrians crossing the road casually. And all this from 50 seconds of footage.

                                      That bike guy was going to the service road .I think signal was yellow and the car driver wanted to cross before it goes red.

                                          No, it was a small(ish) city, and the traffic was exactly as you describe it. But I will still maintain that you are wrong in this respect. having a minimum of traffic rules and having people obey them will not mean any less smooth traffic. On the contrary, It will mean smoother traffic and less accidents and less casualties. On the other hand, I realise that I am in no position to argue with everybody in a country that is as big as India. :laugh: Besides, I don't really have the inclination to do so, and frankly I don't think I need to either. You will either find out yourself in due time or you wont, and in either case it won't do much to spoil the charm of your nice country.

                                          Isn't your idea of heavy traffic a moose standing on the road? :)

                                          And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                                          "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                                          And I smiled and was happy
                                          And it came worse.
