According to a World Bank report, Bangladesh has the highest rate of accidents in South Asia, with 170 people killed per 10,000 vehicles annually. A shocking 93.7 per cent of driving licenses in Dhaka have been "found to be fake", says A N Hussain, commissioner of the Dhaka metropolitan police. The figure was based on spot-checks by policemen on cars, buses, trucks and rickshaws. Chronic short-staffing is the problem -- the ratio of police:vehicles is 1:1,244.
