This is flawed logic. India's population alone makes a comparison too lop-sided for any believable conclusion.

I'd dare say that virtually all tricycle and jeepney drivers didn't receive any formal training in driving and traffic regulations. Most don't even know basic traffic signs like No Parking, Pedestrian Crossing and No Left Turn, as proven by a number of actual broadcasted interviews. All the formal driving lessons and training in defensive driving in the world cannot possibly compensate for their ignorance.

i was not solely referring to the numbers pal, read again my post, its not about who's got the numbers but about irresponsible drivers/pedestrians & the unjustifiable thread title.

i totally disagree w/ that, so what you're saying is that it's better NOT to have any "formal driving lessons and training" because it will be such a waste since an ignorant driver will hit you or cause an accident no matter what? And if one did undergo "formal driving lessons and training" it will be rendered useless because of the latter reason? Your logic has more holes than swiss cheese.
