Driving a Cultural Change in India
Indian driving habits are criticised worldwide. This blog provides driver education through a series of short videos. Hope is that Indian citizens and the Government will become aware of alternative but more effective and safer ways of travelling. We have copied the West: Replaced the dhoti with denim, high rise buildings for Indian cottages, burgers and coke instead of Indian breads and perhaps sugarcane juice. Surely we can copy the Western ways of travelling too.
