Surviving India’s Traffic

Our friends and family all believe we moved on up like the Jefferson’s to the East Side (I just dated myself, but I remember watching reruns as a kid) as we have drivers to transport us around the city. We get the following:

  • It can’t be that bad…
  • You’re so lucky…
  • Be courageous and live like the locals…

Well, we’ve traveled quite a bit, 26 countries, so we thought we can start driving ourselves once we get the hang of it. Well, take a look for yourselves. We opted not to drive.

Mumbai Traffic

This is a 4 way intersection – no traffic signal, no stop sign, no crosswalk.  I’m moving from right to left.

Here’s a quick video of what traffic is like. We are used to the cars, buses, trucks, autorickshaws, mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles, people, and animals (dogs, horses, camels – up north, sheep – up north) sharing/surviving the road together.
