Thanks RB for some tips earlier last year.
The fog seemed particularly heavy this morning. Was a little concerned about the journey. It got better as the sun came out.
Well we got a real introduction to driving in India today. Most (if not all) of the comments that follow should be taken in a humourous spirit and hopefully does not offend anyone (definitely not the intention). Just some observations.
Driving in India
Road lines are for - general idea that traffic flows along the lines (although sometimes across as well)
A working Horn is the most essential equipment.
Side view mirrors are optional. Usually in the way for a tight squeeze between vehicles (big definiton here on what a vehicle could be).
Anything goes. Agree with RB, a safe driver is very important. Traffic sometimes comes in the opposite direction on your lane! so a little bit of playing chicken on the "highway".
Don't distract your driver, he needs 150% concentration on the road!
