Pedestrians threatened by India's traffic chaos - 26 Oct 08

[PedAdvocate]

Road safety is a problem in many countries.  Over 1.1 million deaths a year, with half of them vulnerable road users -- pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor scooters.

ASIRT -- the Association for Safe International Road Travel -- is a good source of information for road safety conditions in different countries.

[IndiaCobra]

This problem is coused by police who are there to take money LONG LIVE ANNA HAZARE.

When visiting, we noticed some of the highway exits are unlabeled from the local roads. In America, at the end of a highway exit, it says "Do Not Enter". So, you know which is the highway "entrance" and which is the highway "exit". A few times we entered the highway through the exit ramp because there weren't any signs.

[bozirob]

i think we all need a little bit of danger in our life, great video india life is fun

[rangy8888]

India is a place for anti social elements who only can make through in all walks of life. A good person cannot achieve anything. Everyone is corrupted.

The traffic is at the worst. Even the police vehicle does not stop at red signals. The Politician's, the govt. authority's cars jus speed past, no rules for them. Seeing this ordinary people follow suit. Not to mention the bus drivers who has their own law. They seem to have the right to crush people under their wheels. Worst bastards

[Desi9]

@SuperPaki4lyfe lol fuck u, u paki fuck, taliban mutherfucker. Muslims are viewed as fucktards by the world so i wouldnt be talking. Go hide in your cave and fuck a goat.

[200903433]

@SuperPaki4lyfe Wow, look who’s talking. You fucking terrorist. Everyone in the world hates Muslims and Pakistanis. People in India dont eat rats and dont drink urine. You come from a TERRORIST country and NO ONE likes you. they HATE you.

After we killed Bin Laden, you guys were angy towards us. We did you a favor. He was in your back yard and you didnt "find" him. Your government was probably hiding him. That is the real inside job.

Pakistan= country that hid the world's most wanted man

[FeStinkaHouse]

I don't get what he says before "people behind wheel is good horn, good brakes, good luck. Could anyone help me?tks

[jsvjuggernaut]

[indiasucksalways]

[littlepakistan]

With a little more discipline India will be a strong nation.

[BengalG3]

im glad you think that=)

[BU2UB]

india could learn alot from the west and west stands to earn trillions of dollars developing india and poor nations.

[justhomas1]

a modern nation with premitive infrastructure.. with attitude of people of premitive men. Nobody wants to obey the rule of traffic. If all obey the traffice regulation they will have a better trafic system, but they all prefer to be the part of chaos and then proud of 21 st century super power of Chaos.

[hothpatel]

Ha, Ha ... Welcome to INDIA.

I understand that the traffic is at it's own pace in India, but I wonder where did ALJazeera get their statistics from "1% of world's vehicles and 10% of fatality"??? This does not make sense. If they have 2nd largest world population around 1.2 billion people they should have about 100million + vehicles according to 1% that ALJazeera is using. This is more than people in other countries around the world are.

Jai Hind!!!

[Jibbie49]

Only 10% of the world's population owns a car, so that is what they are say that India has 1% of THAT amount, so it's not 100 million.

[sln0070]

thats right dumbass

[redfootwalking]

I became a pro at crossing busy streets after living there most of my life; I am still pretty good at it! :)

[TheFXGuru]

@redfootwalking you may be good at it, but the guy driving an suv right at you may not.

[mightyali]

haha fart too much...little kids finally know how to type on youtube...referring me to pork...very clever...you can worship the fuck out of your 1000s of gods now  happY?

[geoffreyphilip]

im going to india in a month, and i have to do the crossing like this. scares the hell out of me, honestly.

[spicollii]

What I love most is the comment made by Rohip at the end of this video who blames the government. In reality what I have experienced in India was people having no idea what rules apply to safe driving or even how to operate a vehicle safely. Live and learn my friends...or should I say die and learn?

[snat85]

im an indian, loved it when the guy said the mantra for drivers is good horn, good brake and good luck..hahaha..nice, love and miss my india...

[guneetsaini36]

its just like a video game india rules yea

[FeStinkaHouse]

What does he say before mantra? Could you help me get it?Tks

[giammira]

I think he says "The often repeated mantra of people behind the wheel..." but am not sure either

[newday4fun]

Freakin' me out just watchin! Wow!!

[roadmonitoroz]

@newday4fun Agreed, although this video explains why they drive like that over here too. The horn & the random lane changes without signal , not to mention the 5 lanes made out of 3 lanes seems insane.

[mightyali]

its india....what do you expect?

[ilikeicecreamandcake]

let me guess, you're a hater pakistani?

let it go man.

[guneetsaini36]

you stupied discusting paki

[mightyali]

just because a person dislikes india, does not mean they are paki stupid cow worshipers

you want a hamburger?

[guneetsaini36]

i am not even hindu you fucking bangladash motherfucker

[mightyali]

stop making yourself sound like a damn hindu....fucking hidu lovers nowadays what? you have a dream of fucking shiva

[200903433]

@mightyali Just because a person is from India, or defends it, doesnt mean that they are a Hindu. And no, Hindus don't worship cows.

[EsotericDesi]

Chaos... LOL!

[Jewishfan]

Driving in India is not about skills, it's about reflexes.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

that's just a hazard waiting to explode.

[johntabbot]

most dangerous roads in the world
