    I do not agree ..None of the so called "developed nations" will have street lights on non urban highway areas ..Anyways ..the fault in this case is obvious ..No Helmet. That said, the highways in Indian ghat sections and semi ghats is not fit for rides above 60kmph As such people here think that accelerating and moving the vehicle is driving .. The driving schools here need to redesign their training patterns ..the Road transport ministry should provide guidelines and see that it is implemented strictly with compliance audits and scoring for each driving schools and applicable departments which handle this activity.
