it wasn't so much for their driving prowess, though my experience of dangerous poorly regulated countries is that it tends to produce better drivers as you have to be on your toes
living in brazil there was always someone doing some crazy shit on the roads almost every day. I remember they had this major arterial road in Sao paulo, the Marginal, that was 8 lanes wide. One time I drove along at night in heavy rain, and they'd painted over all the white lines in black, but being brazil hadn't got around to painting the new lines yet. In the near constant heavy traffic of Sao Paulo. It was like some crazy Le Mans start, speeding across this huge black empty expanse of tarmac with a bunch of other cars in the rain, all jockeying for position and trying not to hit each other.
Anyway, it's just that Punjabis, for whatever reason, seem disproportionately over-represented as uber eats deliverers, and so are prime candidates to jump at being my driver for similar wages and far less work than delivering pizza to penge, not to mention the chance to wear an admirals uniform
