Graphic Reflections

This graphic attempts to depict the skewed equation between driving skills and road skills amongst a majority of drivers in India (I believe they are different skills). While most drivers may have good driving skills (which are also the main focus of driving schools across the country) to drive or ‘handle’ their respective vehicles well, when it comes to road skills (eg. being patient while driving, wearing helmets, stopping at red lights, negotiating roundabouts properly, parking the vehicle properly), most drivers in India would fare poorly (fail, I would say). With the traffic situation in Indian cities becoming worse by the day, its time the authorities and driving schools start laying stress on developing road skills of Indian drivers.
