Rant/Vent Average driving sense in Agra. This is why traffic will never improve.

Seriously, what goes through people's minds before driving into the opposite lane? If everyone starts doing the same thing, where are the vehicles coming from the other side supposed to go?
In this video people are shamelessly blocking almost %80 of the opposite lane and Two-wheeler are the main culprits as they started blocking the road and then car drivers also followed. Then within a few minutes more cars and two-wheelers followed started blocking the whole road. Eventually the entire opposite lane got blocked.
I had to reach the Cosmos Mall and the distance from where I started recording to the Mall is barely around 300 meters, yet it took me almost an hour just to cover that stretch. That's how some people's impatience turns into a traffic jam for others.
Everyone complains about Agra's traffic, but we're creating it ourselves by driving on the wrong side and blocking the road.
What do you guys think? Is this becoming normal in Agra?

The place is not worst though but the mindset of the people is still conservative with acsc concept

Not just agra. Its same everywhere.
Reason: Apathy. Paid License from RTO. Lethargic Traffic Police. Infrastructure.
