Mountain: Given your location is Bhubaneshwar, I am not surprised about the nature of complaints, specially the one about driving on the wrong side. It seems to be in the city's DNA, and its not only old people for whom its too late to learn who are doing this. Take half an hour, stand by the divider break in front of Chandrashekharput Petrol pump and you will see that the country's future (and lots of them) are risking their lives as well. I tried standing by the rules and I felt quite happy at times when I saw others doing that too, even the oldies.

Cultural differences has nothing to do with anything here, and you don't have to be a westerner to get frustrated with this kind of stuff, some of us Indians feel the same way.Comment

the traffic scene in Bangalore had been the most disturbing of what ive witnessed(leaving certain places like UP). 3 or 4 years earlier there was no sign of riding sense at all. Be it a LMV/HTV or a two wheeler, No1 cared about others as long as they go ahead.
*thankfully* since the traffic police are getting more rigid by the day, there is a better sense of driving, but it needs a lot(really lot) of improvement.sigpic

Multiple plusesOriginally posted by Haroon View PostI fully agree with TheMountain on the pathetic riding conditions in India and sadly, I dont see anything changing in the future as well.
Few specialities of Indian driving:
Indian traffic at best is described as - Organized chaos...
Vehicle with the loudest horn gets the right of way...
In the west you blow your horn if the driver in front of you has done something stupid. Whereas in India you blow your horn to warn that you are about to do something stupid...
Stop, Yield signs etc are mere symbols the colonial rulers may have forgotten behind...
