This sort of comment occurs on almost any conversation that touches on road safety. A ridiculous "where there is chaos it is actually safer!" bit of nonsense.

This sort of comment occurs on almost any conversation that touches on road safety. A ridiculous "where there is chaos it is actually safer!" bit of nonsense. Absolutely, unequivocally destroyed by actual metrics. These "chaos" places like India have absolutely atrocious road safety, with hundreds of thousands of deaths yearly. They only look good per capita because of the relative rarity of vehicles and miles driven, but driving is a perilously dangerous activity there and in similar countries. The bit about obesity is just doubly weird nonsense.
