Honestly, I aint surprised at this info... the roads are totally unsafe... But I feel that the road sense over here in Bbay has improved over the last few years.. Hopefully this is one record we'd gladly give up soon...

Just noticed that we also have a couple of other Guinness records :

The Worst Train Disaster. About 900 souls lost.. One of the probable causes was a Buffalo!

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...id=43897&Reg=1

The Worst Mid-Air Collision. 351 lives lost.

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...id=43912&Reg=1


Check this out for all records made in India:
