> But it's still "racist" to say "Indians can't drive." Sorry, I think you're reading something into GP's post that just isn't there. What I got from GP's post was because of low standards of drive testing, weak or non-existent enforcement of traffic laws, a general lack of education on how to drive safely, drivers on roads in India are generally unsafe. Having once been one of those drivers myself, I agree wholeheartedly. I don't think GP ever said or implied anything like what you think. If India were to adopt higher licensing standards and better traffic enforcement (in addition to better roads, signage, signaling equipment etc), I'm quite certain the quality of our driving, and our fatality numbers would improve over time. > I know what you mean about driving in India. I watch video of Indian traffic. It's fascinating. It's not "fascinating", it's horrifying. People blithely zooming around, always a hairsbreadth from tragedy, all for very little gain. It breaks my heart to see it whenever I go back home for a visit. > I live in CA, and I've met a lot of folks from India and they seem to drive here just fine. I was one of those folks (don't live in CA anymore). I learned how to drive better after coming to the US. The reason all the Indian people you know drive fine is because they learned (or re-learned) driving in the US and have gone through American licensing tests.
