Shocking violence in India

India, where an estimated 270 people die each day from road accidents, and specialists predict that will increase by roughly 5 percent a year…less than 5 percent of road travelers are riding in cars -- most are on foot, motorbikes, or carts.

Funnily enough Analysis carried on the basis of all India road accidents data shows that drivers’ fault accounts for 83.5 per cent of accidents.
