Hit and Run in Mumbai: A Symptom of a Larger Issue The recent hit and run incident in Mumbai, where a 15 year old American student was knocked down by a speeding biker, has left many shaken and concerned about road safety in India's most populous city.
The tragedy highlights a larger issue that affects not just Mumbai but cities across India: the lack of accountability and enforcement when it comes to traffic laws.
The Indian government has made efforts to improve road safety in recent years, including stricter penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) and increased fines for traffic violations.
