Freedom in India

When my dad sees pictures, or videos of India, he always says ''That's what true freedom is, no lines to distinguish the way the flow of traffic is, ridding on a motorcycle with more than two people, etc..." Then today we got a call from my cousins, they told us that my dads cousins sister had passed away. My dad immediately called him, he said that his sister along with her husband, three year old daughter, and mother in law had passed away in a freak accident in India. A bus drove over their van crushing them inside. My family is so sad.
It led to My parents talking about all the accidents in India. We talked about one of my moms cousin being electrocuted on an electricity pole, and about other deaths involving insecurities. I noticed that all the accidents that happen are due to India's lack of rules. Had there been assigned times for the bus driver to drive, he would not have fallen asleep on the wheel. Or had my moms cousin had proper equipment to fix the electricity line he would still be alive. I think that a certain amount of freedom is good. However, I feel that in order to have a safe, productive country you need to make rules that apply to all, and can't be bent by anyone! (NO BRIBES) Sorry I'm just very mad.

OH, I am so sorry to hear that!!!!
Wow, I just wish that rules in certain countries should never be bent. For example, in Iran there are no lines of intersection. Cars can drive in any lane they want and cut people any time they want. I mean no wonder there are so many car accidents taking place in Iran. That is so true.
