why you're 10 X more likely to die on an Asian road

I filmed this clip covertly whilst traveling on a bus from Jammu to Delhi. The only seat available was in the cab and during the entire journey this driver made and received phone calls, read and sent text messages and drove three other vehicles off the road. The three vehicles were driven off whilst he was overtaking... they were on the right carriage way but he was driving a volvo bus.... One that was traveling at 80km per hour with a full compliment of passengers. I suppose I should count my blessing as he wasn't like most Indian bus drivers getting drunk on rum, popping pills or smoking a chillum..... Plus I'm still alive to tell the tale but plenty more are not...
I've put this clip up in the vain hope India starts to take road safety seriously.. some hope

at least you traveled in the bus, not on the bus

you haven't seen how they drive in Kerala on mountain roads in rain w/out windshield wipers, so the road is almost invisible, and not even bothering to close the bus doors
