Mumbai traffic: a shocking state of affairs

A recently released report shows that Mumbai’s traffic police has registered 1.1 lakh cases of signal jumping in the first quarter of this year. Another report says that a total of 18.55 lakh traffic offences were registered in Mumbai in 2015 and the total fine collected was Rs 21.22 crore. Parking in a no-parking zone was the highest traffic violation followed by riding without a helmet. In third place are miscellaneous cases (I have no clue what this means) followed by signal jumping in fourth.

Strangely, no cases of rash driving…
