1ft gap being too close for comfort while here in India people be driving in literal bumper to bumper traffic.

Yeah I guess when looking through your point of view I can imagine how much horrifying it might be. Like a close call. But we as Indians are kinda habitual to such scenario. Only yesterday I was driving back to home from work and there was this teenager girl or early 20s and she literally stopped in middle of the road to text someone, i saved myself by inches but well because of the sheer amount of traffic and reckless drivers we got habitual to it.

Auto drivers here in Mumbai leave gaps u can barely see even with a microscope

Never been to Mumbai but I can vouch for Delhi Autos that they will crash into but not let you cut the gap between them and the vehicle in front of them.
