It is a problem that has left the minister in charge of road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari, hiding his face at international conferences (as he recently admitted).

The first reason is design. Most Indian roads are poorly designed. They ignore the realities of Indian traffic – its diverse nature as well the road sense, or lack of it, of people.
