….where does the problem lie ?
• There is lack of accountability in Govt.
for road safety.
• Multi-lane highways are being built – but
will untrained drivers be able to handle
these high speed corridors ?
• How does one cope with the diverse road
user behaviour found on India's roads ?
•…… so we have to drive bearing in mind
the errors of others !
