Wow this information is really great, may be it will be difficult for me to drive in any of countries apart from INDIA, as in INDIA we can break rules as when we please, and driving on wrong side of road, breaking signals, is our birth right we think... :mrgreen::mrgreen:
what are road lanes ? we dont know them,, neither do we spare the speed breakers, zebra crossings, etc..:-?:-?
Where fines are for 50 , 100 bucks and free if u know commissioner, or someone in police :sleep::mrgreen:
Speed limit for us is the max speed limit of the vehicle which we are driving :p:p , as per capactiy of vehicle..
And radars are a distant dream.... in INDIA...
I should seriously start driving sensibly .

Dear Nasar.
I appreciate your motive for all such postings. Sharing of knowledge,
But same time, we have to make sure that we mention the source. Without mention of source, postings specifically related to Civil / Immigrations / Labor laws SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

Hope you understand the severity and depurcations of being ‘misinformed’
Cheers
