It’s difficult to describe the experience on the Indian “highways” without laughter and astonishment. I wouldn’t rent a car there in my life. No one using the signal lights, people simply honk. The signs and the marks on the roads are simply for decoration: no one stays in lane. In three lanes I saw five to seven different vehicles not mentioning some animals. When our bus had to make the left turn, the driver assistant simply stuck out half of his body into the window and waved to the vehicles behind us to wait.
Now, that’s what I call dangerous driving! LOL!! 🙂 Cool photos.
Wow, that’s some kind of traffic! What was in the big puffy balloon looking contraption?
Hay, I guess:)
Love your Blog!!! I always feel as if I am traveling !!!:) *Cynthia
Natalia — You didn’t mention seat belts. 🙂 Nice post.
My brother visited a few years ago. He noted how intense it was, how many people there are (quite friendly), and the shantys next to office parks in some cases. Thanks for these excellent photos. I’ve sent him a link.

Great photos. You have captured traffic in India perfectly. I have been here for two years now and i am still amazed by what i see on the roads.
i love everything about this experience, oh and the pics are pretty cool too )
Reblogged this on stacymarsh.
same in Kenya. But it’s astonishing how much stuff/ how many people they can cram in one tiny space… After surviving a Kenyan busride (more or less unharmed), I never complained about the London tube, or any other, according to western standards, ‘full packed’ public transportation!
Amazing photos btw! 🙂
