"Safe Drive Save Life" is the name of a program initiated by the Government of West Bengal, a state in East India. You could look it up here and here.
Every time I go to the capital of West Bengal, Kolkata, I can't help but notice this expression on bumper stickers and billboards. What bothers me is that it does not sound right.
Is the expression "Safe Drive Save Life" correct? Is it missing any punctuation? Why does it sound so incorrect? Or is it just me?
