Percentage of people on 2-wheeled death chairs, probably greater than 40%.

Population ratio of India to America: like 7 or 8:1?

Haha, you must come and see how things work here... you all saw that there are not even road lines over here, traffic lights are only applicable in downtown Beirut... the rest of Lebanon doesn't know what traffic lights are , when drivers see them they think they are Christmas ornament that go on and off

This is SOLELY what I love in my country, you gotta drive as you wish, as fast as you can or as slowly as you can, go "Betweens" on highways without cops chasing you (but doesn't apply on other drivers... I someone chasing you in a race ).... hehe

[NapaBavarian]

Yeah, the non-agressive drivers eff everything up!

Driving in NYC on the highway is just like a nascar event.

India - 1,095,351,995 (July 2006 est.)
US - 298,444,215 (July 2006 est.)

Population ratio of India to America - 3.67:1

Traffic Fatalities India Yearly: 216,859/3.67=59,090
Traffic Fatalities US Yearly: 49,304

Traffic Injuries India Yearly: 7,203,864/3.67=1,962,906
Traffic Injuries US Yearly: 1,670,374

So the roads aren't terribly more dangerous in India - Math doesn't lie!

If we were to take into account a few other variables such as average miles per driver, etc., etc., the numbers would surely show that the US is much safer.

That's what I love about accounting. Using (or ignoring) the proper numbers, you can prove any statistical theory you need to!

We're really that close to breaking 3 hundred mil? With as many fatalities per year we have how is the population increasing?

[SuBrat84]

I would like to see those numbers with motorcycle deaths vs automobile deaths

They do not care. They have an SUV. Just ask the trucker on I-95 between Philly and Bmore. Now there is a Nascar race.

Race times 6:30 to 9:00 and 4:30 to 7:00 Monday thru Friday.

Qualifying on Sat and Sun.


They are so obvious that something like 12+ cars ran over the same person that was in the middle of I-95 the other month. Maryland State Police had to get the cadets out to form a line and walk 95 to look for body pieces.

Drivers here are stupid....drivers back in India have a little smarts when it comes to driving. There is hardly any road rage...and people do not speed. Its all about respect in India.
