Worst Drivers Of India – The Indian Road Culture – [VIDEO]
Your behavior on the roads – as a pedestrian or a vehicle driver – reflects the quality of your education,upbringing and culture. Accordingly, the erratic behavior of the commuters – especially the vehicle drivers – reflects their general state of mind and health, and their social values, mutual respect, self-discipline, and civic and ethical responsibility towards their fellow road-users and, therefore, towards their nation in the bigger picture.
The irresponsible hillbilly behavior of drivers also speaks loudly about their poor education, training and awareness about the road/traffic rules, whilst putting a big question mark on the authenticity and validity of their driver license. Put simply, how do most people manage to obtain their driver license? And, these are not only the drivers of public vehicles, the questionable behavior is more profound in the drivers of both large and small, expensive and branded, private SUV s, sedans and hatchbacks.
Roads and streets can be likened to the blood vessels of the country. They reflect the values and the state of health of the nation. In India, people everywhere seem to be rushing, and trying to forge ahead of others,in a seeming perpetual race, pushing and elbowing away every other person around them.
All Indian cities are characterised by a heavy traffic; smoke and dust in the air; and a constant din, with a generally bluish-grey sky and dull sunshine. Most lanes, streets and roads seem to be teemed with people and vehicles of all shapes and sizes – parked or moving in a slow motion.
