I was going to say there’s a lack of evidence for this but then I looked at what people earn in India vs similar countries here: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.CD?most_...
It’s amazingly clear that the trend is poverty === bad driving.

Just go to India, you will notice lot of people running the light, they dont do that if there is traffic cop.
Nothing to do with poverty, since poor people cannot afford cars and motorbikes.

This is kind of orthogonal to the previous claim.
Morality is what you do when no one is looking.
If traffic laws are being enforced, it changes the calculus from "if I drive recklessly I can eat today" to "if I get caught driving recklessly and am fined I don't eat today or tomorrow".
Good point.
In your example it has nothing to do with morals but everything to do with enforcement. If there was a traffic cop standing at the start of the one way street almost no one would have entered wrong way.
