In New Delhi or Mumbai, it's a disaster. If I can drive there, in my opinion I can drive in any country, in any city. In India, still, every year almost 150-200 thousand people die in traffic accidents. Most of them don't know traffic rules.\"<\/p>\n<p><span>So far, 195 Asians have taken the taxi or ride-sharing license exam. 160 have passed and are already working.

He stopped without justification in traffic. Even if he had the right of way, if he saw a car coming from a yielding road, he braked. A little later he told me that, in fact, their rule is that the one who hits head-on is to blame.\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vlad Lubinschy - car instructor<\/strong>: \"The vast majority are India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, those who come here to work. A few who take it personally to go on vacation. They, so they can work, get a job faster.\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>Samir Anwar Imran - Pakistani national<\/strong>: \"When I came here, I needed a car. I also got my license and bought a car, I've been driving since 2008. And category C? Now I have the training. If I can get a job somewhere or have better offers, that's why I thought.\"<\/p>\n<p>However, the number of foreigners in passenger transport is still low. Although they are needed in the labor market, it's too expensive for employers to bring them into the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yosef Gavriel Peisakh - recruitment agency manager<\/strong>: \"This whole procedure takes 5-6-7 months, at least with the driving license exchange.
