How sad! Instead of advancing, the people in Goa and India are being taken backwards to early saffron culture; that is what it is. Old methods of thinking and acting! What else can one expect of this cavemen's culture that is slowly and slyly being enforced on the enlightened?? Seeing is believing! Nascy Caldeira

There does not seem to be ANY traffic rules in Goa, especially when it comes to two-wheelers which weave in and out of traffic with impunity. I once asked a traffic policeman, who had right of way at a traffic circle and he did not know ! Zebra crossings ? I have to go across a zebra crossing to get to church on Sundays. I have a feeling that motorists and two-wheelers speed up when they see someone in a Zebra crossing, hell bent on mowing you down, as though you are in a bulls-eye. It is probably easier to cross where there is no Zebra crossing. Want to make a left turn ? Sure enough there is someone around the blind corner who wanting to make a right turn decides to take a short cut. Instead of keeping to his left side he cuts across and comes to the right of the road bound for a collision.. One has to blow his horn incessantly and go very slowly to avoid that collision. Everyone is in a hell-bound hurry to get somewhere, pushing aggressively looking for any opening where he can push his car or two-wheeler through. Night time. Many folks dont turn on their lights till it is pitch dark (probably hoping that their headlights will last longer ?), and when they do turn on their lights it is full-beam, blinding on-coming motorists. I can go on and on, and probably write a book on driving in Goa. Oprah Winfrey on her recent visit to India was aghast at the traffic madness in Delhi. I am sure that the same goes for all mejor cities in India.
