Also from another story on Mumbai. " Roads: Road indiscipline by motorists who flout traffic rules and regulations has been cited as the major cause of accidents in Mumbai.
The highest number of accidents was caused by cars, in which casualties were 105, followed by lorries, which caused 94 deaths. Mumbai recorded 71 hit-and-run cases in which 71 people were killed. Two-wheelers caused 68 accidents in which 71 were killed.
However, after the traffic police cracked the whip on drunken driving in 2006, the number of such accidents has fallen." This quote was referring to a yearly quarter.
