Something is up with the Indian subcontinent and their absolute inability to just compromise and do the right thing as a people. Things as simple as traffic laws.

Where does this come from? It can’t simply be because they are poor or uneducated since you’re probably talking about the same demographic classes as you would see in China.

Would it kill them to listen? Every major social issue seems to have an anti-authority element to it.

Whose behaviour are you describing as 'anti-authority' in that image? It looks to me like the vehicles are parked in the bicycle lane (no driver in the car?) so the cyclists have been forced into the road to go around them. Something I've encountered frequently enough myself as a non-Indian in the UK.
