It's probably going to change as they get more cars, more highways and better driver educations. It's probably going to take decades.

No change is automatic. Why will it change just because there are more cars and more highways? And where is the push for better driver education? There is none.

It comes naturally as you start wanting to move faster and get better cars.

You can't go 130kmph honking your way through mopeds and rickshaws.
