So in India there's a religion or a country belief or something that a person dies and becomes a cow. Cows are not allowed to be eaten and if you see one on the road you must let it pass no matter how slow it is walking and show full respect. Anyone know of this or heard it?

You should have TAGGED me . Yeah, the hindus consider cows as scared. Reason, is because of this mythological story, or it may be real. There was an OVERLORD/BRAHMAN Named PARASHURAMA, the AXE WIELDING LORD. Once, while he was away to cut trees for his father's sacrificial rites, a king with his army came. There, the Rishi Jamadagini, fed the entire army with food, and king asked him, you are A POOR BRAHMAN,LIVING IN A HUT, from where, you brought this much of wealth to feed entire army of mine, which is huge. The Rishi says, that I have a cow, named kamdhenu, which means, fullfilling wishes. It is my only propery. The king takes away the cow, and once Lord Parasurama comes back, his parents complains. After which, he gets angry, and kills the king and brings the cow. However, the real story is not related with sacredness of cow, but vengence and anger of brahman. The king's son get furious, and kills the father of Lord Parashurama, and his mother and 5 brothers die, while Parashurama, at the behest of his father, was doing penance, as his father scolds him for killing a king, despite being a BRAHMAN. Before dying, his mother shouts Parahurama 21 times, beside the corpse of her husband, hearing which, he gets so angry, that he anihilates 21 clans of king. This cow story actually is to represent the anger of brahman. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parashurama

According to Hindu mythologies, Parashurama was the son of sage Jamadagni and his wife Renuka, living in a hut. They have a celestial cow called Surabhi which produces all they desire (such a cow is known as kamdhenu) .[1] A king named Arjuna Kartavirya (not to be confused with Arjuna the Pandava)[4][note 1] – learns about it and wants it. He asks Jamadagni to give it to him, but the sage refuses. While Parashurama is away from the hut, the king takes it by force.[1] Parashurama learns about this crime, and is upset. With his axe in his hand, he challenges the king to battle. They fight, and Parushama kills the king, according to the Hindu mythology.[3] The warrior class challenges him, and he kills all his challengers. The legend, states James Lochtefeld, likely has roots in the ancient conflict between the Brahmin caste with religious duties and the Kshatriya caste with warrior and enforcement role.[1][2].[5]
In some versions of the legend, after his martial exploits, Parashurama returns to his sage father with the Surabhi cow and tells him about the battles he had to fight. The sage does not congratulate Parashurama, but reprimands him stating that a Brahmin should never kill a king. He asks him to expiate his sin by going on pilgrimage. After Parashurama returns from pilgrimage, he is told that while was away, his father was killed by warriors seeking revenge. Parashurama again picks up his axe and kills many warriors in retaliation. In the end, he relinquishes his weapons and takes up Yoga.[6]

And seem with that yoga mentioned it brought the beginning of buddhism. yes, the occultist traditions are not aryan religions, in fact, aryans shunnded the occultism. He is a mythical charachter, created by old civilization here, mainly for the functioning. Yes, after he kills the clans of 21 kings, he then is chided by his grandfather, Rishi Richeeka, for doing this grave crime, because, even the good administrators are afraid of him, to which, he says that you take up my lands and wealth, and I will become a MONK. The cow was the property of this sage, offered to him as boon, due to meditation.

This stuff is too weird That's because, it is completely hodge podge. The names of the hindu gods have aryan roots, but, the civilization is non aryan. Yes, long long time back, the ruling classes here were ruled by aryans, the vedic aryans, speakers of vedic sankrit, and those kingdoms got collapsed. That was some 5000 years back.

And in fact, it is bull which is sacred in aryans, not cows. The aryans used to sacrifice cows and eat beef.
The Aryans associated with the Rig Veda and Sapta Sindhu (i.e. today's Pakistan region) were definitely not Hindu because they did not follow the Hindu caste system, they ate beef, sacrificed cows, culturally were closer to Avestan Iranians, forbade idolatry, etc. Also, not a single Hindu idol/temple has been excavated from the Rig Vedic Aryan period.
So obviously Harappans did not worship Shiva, not even close! With Hindu hegemonic claims would ancient Europeans also be considered Hindu since the Celtic Cerrunos looks very similar to the horned Harappan deity? By the way, it is the cow that's worshipped in Hinduism whereas bull has a minor role. Bull was much more sacred in ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures similar to the popular Harappan bull.
This is further supported by Encyclopaedia Britannica:
"The Bull Cult was a prehistoric religious practice that originated in the eastern Aegean Sea and extended from the Indus Valley of Pakistan to the Danube River in eastern Europe .... The Bull Cult continued into historic times and was particularly important in the Indus Valley and on the Grecian island of Crete. In both places the bull's 'horns of consecration' were an important religious symbol."

So when the cow dies where does the reincarnated person go? Do they get re-reincarnated into another cow? the fact is, all these cows which roam on streets are useless, and they are not fit for any work.In india, cow is a source of business, for milk, and for farming.And even the beef business is on top list here. But instead of selling them to poultry farms, these people create non sense out here, named SACRED COWS. And I am always scared if a COW comes in my way while I am driving at a high speed.

And if you kill a cow, then jail, straight away. This is largely due to indian nationalism.

Those things are sacred and means the person who died was very important to become a cow. You see a cow and must just stop dead in your tracks. It's not like an ambulance on the street so you pull over first before stopping. But with a cow you must come to a dead stop right away until it walks away no one cares about the time or if you've a plane to catch
