Oh trust me, I have been that open minded person for a very very long time.

Just yesterday. This is just lack of understanding of traffic rules. Not telling this doesn't happen abroad but in India it happens way too often. Then there is Jaipur incident all human errors, then there is Bangalore - Mysore highway. View attachment 19299

yes, as of now around 400-500 road related fatalities happen in the country every day.

As a sort of footnote to the above, I have mentioned before, you are, or you can't help but notice, more Indian sounding names in Canada involved in very bad auto accidents. About 2 months ago, 4 young people killed while driving way too fast at night. Sikhs in the trucking business( and a few in cars) have been involved in some horrific incidents. Non Sikhs also committed a few hit and runs, which look particularly bad and callous. Of course, other ethnicites do these things as well, but the increase in the last few years of irresponsible, reckless Indians is noticeable and distressing.

What is particularly distressing, is that there doesn't seem to be enough public OR government attention to this issue. People feel( or it looks that way) that they can continue doing the exact same things, and not produce the same results. There is of course more to it i.e institutional, law enforcement etc, but the mindset must be triggered to behave differently.

gormint is saying over-speeding is the primary reason. but i suspect bad design (traffic management + road design) is playing a major role here.

This one instance I was with 2 Europeans and walking on a foot path in Australia, A bike (Some KTM) honked at us and we looked back to see 2 Indians grinning at us and riding on foot path. Nothing new for me, the Europeans could not believe what they just saw and spoke about it the whole day. Over heard some Australian pedestrians using demeaning remarks about Indians.
