Every scandal has its road kill: the pedestrians who stumble into the headlights of the oncoming 18-wheeler.

Almost all accidents take place because of human distraction.

In the '70s, there were economists who argued that seat belts were causing people to drive faster and kill more pedestrians. But after 15 or 20 years of research, we can now conclude that's actually not true. Seat belts, on net, do make people safer. So, on an evidence-based process, we should have people wear seat belts.

I'm sure people are shocked when they see a guy speeding and cutting them off and having road rage while in a Prius.

To walk across the street is a risk.

Generally speaking, rural drivers are a much better behaved species than city drivers. I'm not sure whether they're intrinsically this way, or there are just fewer opportunities for them to do behave badly. You can't go around running red lights if there aren't any red lights to run.

We must do a better job of educating all drivers to be safer on the road.

It's not quite right to be sitting outside India and to be judging what is happening in India.

I do take pride in saying that in spite of being in public life for so long, there is not a single case against me, not even for wrongly parking a scooter or driving on the wrong side.

In a city where you walk around, it's impossible to plan your day and your life as accidents will happen, you'll overhear things, bump into people, and take unexpected turns.
