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.

Fantastic photo’s… remind me of an amazing adventure I had in India years ago… Some truly spectacular gems of time in a country such as this…. Thanks for sharing!

Brought back memories of my trip to India last year. Indian highways are the closest things to carnival rides I have ever experienced. I loved the signs on the back of trucks advising drivers to honk. Our driver couldn’t understand why we kept gasping as he wove through oncoming traffic. 🙂
Amazing captures Natalia.
Reblogged this on Voices and Visions.
I could tell right away that it was India. It goes to show you that transportation is a major problem all over the world. Yes the traffic in India is funny if not down right scary. I never saw so many people piled upon a motor cycle or in those three wheeled vehicles. But they do manage to get around.

According to a native the lights in Italy go thus: green means go, amber means go and red ‘merely a suggestion’…
Incredible. I was thinking here was me having problem with drivers in England. I’ll take needless tailgating over this any day!
Awasome photos!
