“You take a European horn and it will be gone in a week or two. With the amount of honking in Mumbai, we do on a daily basis what an average German does on an annual basis.”
More than 133,938 people died on India’s roads in 2010, according to the National Crime Records Bureau — a rate of 366 deaths a day. — AFP-Relaxnews
