I presumed it is because almost no trucks there have side-mirrors. Or if they have any, probably not for long.

- alkonaut 5y agoSeems like a pretty infuriating state of affairs when India has a horrible rate of accidents and a government that wants to address it. Is there no talk of (for example) mandating mirrors, lights and other important equipment on all vehicles, and ticketing offenders? The next step would be overloaded trucks, (especially if the load is human).
