India plans to step up safety on world’s most dangerous roads

Heavy traffic moves along a busy road during the evening in New Delhi By Andrew MacAskill NEW DELHI (Reuters) - This year, the family of Rakesh Pillai, a bank employee, achieved a long-held aspiration. After hauling themselves around on bicycles and scooters all their lives, they bought a white Suzuki Wagon R, one of India's best-selling compact cars.It didn't matter that no family member knew how to drive. "In India, the main rule for most drivers is that you don't stop for anyone," said Pillai, 31, who wears frameless glasses and sports a neatly trimmed mustache.
