Answer:
In India driving has become a crazy activity. There were days when the vehicles were not so many in the urban areas. So people could manage to drive well and reach home safely and without headaches.
Nowadays, the traffic has become too much to tolerate. The traffic jams, parking of vehicles on narrow roads, shops right on platforms and edge of the roads; too many signals at crossroads are all the crazy points about driving in India. It takes 1 hour to travel 10 km during peak hours. Individual vehicle owners try to jump signals, change lanes and overtake other vehicles from the left side in order to reach their destination. Many young drivers are hot-blooded and drive at high speed as they enjoy that. There are many small streets into the main roads and people suddenly come in from these streets.
Driving on roads has become dangerous because of open drainage, pits, damaged roads during monsoon season, and flooded roads during heavy rains. Some roads in villages are not strong roads.
It has become a menace for the old people and children to walk along the roads. The buses, cars, trucks, motor cycles, and miscellaneous transport vehicles occupy the road in a haphazard manner and the pedestrians are afraid of these vehicles. We do not know when one vehicle comes and hits one.
People are not giving importance to safe driving, they do not check their vehicles for pollution, they are not giving enough importance to others' lives. There are many limitations to what one can do. Best is to travel by public transport, employ driver, or choose a place near office, to live.
All in all, the driving in India is crazy, and it drives India crazy.
