If they want to save lives, they are better of putting their dwindling resources, into repairing their roads and improving enforcement of traffic laws.

Just to get a sense of the numbers, more people are likely to die on Indian roads every year, than the sum total of deaths in the Afganisthan+Iraq wars since 2001.

How bad is that, actually, per capita? India is a very, very, VERY populated place, on a scale unheard of in the United States or UK

[edit] I thought more about it; and China isn't as bad I'm sure. At least, the internet teaches me that Indian traffic is something noteworthy and Chinese traffic isn't.
