114-year-old marathoner Fauja Singh was hit by a car on the Jalandhar-Pathankot highway. And his death is a reminder that road rules and discipline are non-existent in India. Underage and wrong-side driving, reckless speeding, non-existent lane discipline, broken indicators, dismantled rearview mirrors, you name it, and the violation is common.
