    Most drivers on Indian roads are "GHOST" driving. You never no from where they come and where they want to go. It's chaos driving in Indian roads. It just exemplifies our ethicates at large!

    It is not only the fault of drivers. Our highways are made without proper signs and this leads the people confuse to the wrong directions. Many times I have seen the ppeople are coming from the both direction which misleads the right people to the wrong directions. The authorities must think about it.

    It is sad to see such accidents happening. People drive on the wrong side of the road just to avoid taking long turns to reach their destinations. In mangalore we come accross such sight, where a family goes the same way in the two wheeler. Do understand why take such a huge risk just to save a bit of fuel. We citizens must take pics n post it to sites like daijiworld.com. The punishment for this offence must be very harsh, like cancellation of driving license and seize the vehicles. Wat say readers?.
