I agree with Ubiquitous. Accidents happens to be by chance most of the times and no part of the world is exception to it. At least in US and europe the road law is strict and people try to adhere to it. But to know how much u pose risk urself while on road, u should drive in Nepal, India and other developing countries. Sure, orientation might help but people in US who start driving have to obtain a valid driver license, for which they have to undergo a strict scrutiny. U know how easier it is in Nepal or India to bribe and to get a license. I support the fact that all the nepalese who got killed were an innocent victim. The only precaution u can take is be responsible and caring for ur own life as life is prestigious. Take away massege" safe driving".
