Beatles 'Abbey Road' cover used to promote road safety in India...

Supratim Sarkar, the joint commissioner of the traffic police, said he believed their profile should be a big enough incentive for people to take notice.

“The Beatles touched thousands of lives with their music and we are simply trying to use their universal appeal to save lives," he told the BBC.
