I have to completely agree with Storm here. Yes these unsafe tin cans are nothing but death traps, but then the sheer stupidity of us humans can not be over looked. The driving test and road laws are taken as a joke by an over whelming majority of us. You can tell a lot about psyche of nation by looking at the way they drive or make a que, believe me you can.
In Pakistan we got a mafia for tomatoes to cars, every thing in between. Those days are not far when we should change our name to "MaFiaIstan". All these autoassemblers are making huge profits with zero contribution towards the automotive evolution and for the most part towards national treasury. Bet many of the CEO's of these companies roam around in the safest Merc's, BMWs or Audis, yet we get so happy when we over pay for some thing with minimalistic of features or quality. By paying them for these over priced tin cans we are voting for their method.
Yes Storm if only for 6 months we stop feeding these extortionists they will get there $hit right, but here we got a mafia for every thing.
