One of the Sources of the Woes of Traffic on Indian Roads

                                            One of the Sources of the Woes of Traffic on Indian Roads

There must be many, but the one that comes to my mind is what the policeman told me when I passed the driving test in Lexington, KY, USA.

“Remember, now you have a killing machine under your control.” 

What is given above is a verbatim reproduction and the reason I recall it is because I used the same statement to every single friend I helped to learn driving when he/she got their license. Tell me, how many Indian parents/friends/driving school staff instil this sense of, not fear but concern for the other users of the road, in the minds of the learners.

Zero. 

I am all in on this, if anyone wished for a wager.
