Much of the world wide web is full of sarcasm & mocking of the indisciplined driving on Indian roads. Unfortunately in since 60 years since independence the authorities have failed to publish a National Highway code. Licences are given to anyone who can demonstrate an ability to use the clutch-accelerator, consequently the motoer driving schools teach just that and no more. Concepts such as - blindspots, principle of MSM, the tyre & tarmac rule, 2 second gap and most improtantly giving way are not known to the average Indian driver. This site http://driving-india.blogspot.com/ has been created with the purpose of providing driver education and training to all Indian road users. It is by far the most comprehensive website providing training in defensive driving. Learning simple road habits can make our roads safe and also free up congestion caused by traffic chaos. At present 17 driver education videos aimed at changing the driving culture on Indian roads are available. The video are unique in that the footage is real life action from streets of London. We have copied the Western habits: Replaced the dhoti with denim, high rise buildings for Indian cottages, burgers and coke instead of Indian breads and perhaps sugarcane juice. Surely we can copy the Western ways of travelling too. To watch the videos, interested readers may visit: http://driving-india.blogspot.com/ The videos cover the following topics: Video 1: Covers the concept of Blind spots Video 2: Introduces the principle of Mirrors, Signal and Manoeuvre Video 3: At red lights, stop behind the stop line Video 4: At red lights there are no free left turns Video 5: The Zebra belongs to pedestrians Video 6: Tyres and Tarmac (rather than bumper to bumper) Video 7: Merging with the Main road Video 8: Leaving The Main Road Video 9: Never Cut Corners Video 10: Show Courtesy on roads Video 11: 5 Rules that help deal with Roundabouts Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances, tailgating & 2 seconds rule Video 13: Lane discipline and overtaking Video 14: Low beam or high beam? Video 15: Parallel (reverse parking) made easy Video 16: Give the cyclist the respect of a car Video 17: Dealing with in-car condensation Many thanks Almost 10% of the global road traffic accidents occur in India.

I am not saying that it is okay. I am just saying that you have no right to point out. Kiruba, even you would do wait in car in front of a shop for your family to finish their shopping.
