    Not always sir.... it's some time the over confidence our drivers have. Mainly on 2 wheelers , autos and Heavy truck drivers. What a reckless driving we get to see... 2 wheelers like whole world on their foot... what a reckless driving.. directly as if they want to come under your wheel and you need to ensure you escape them. Autos... they can take and plug any lane , any directions, anywhere... nobody can stop them... Express bus drivers are like their bus owners bought the entire road for them. they don't want anyone to be coming on their way... if you dare to come on their way.. they are permitted to knock you down... so driving license can be a factor .. but I feel mentality , respect for other human is the main issue here.
