That is nothing like bad in INDIA, they are at least(for once) driving on the left, they don't always.
They don't use LIGHTS at NIGHT as it wears the bulbs out sooner, my sis in law is Indian but lives over here now and is scared to drive in India, she passed a UK test btw.
When they go up hills they stop at the top and throw money into little temples to pray to the gods that thier brakes will work on the way down.
And if a cow lies in the road they are not allowed to move it as it is sacred, so have to wait until it moves off of it's own accord, if they try to encourage it they can be inprisoned for it.

Just spoke to my sister in law about the indian driving test, this is what she had to do.
Drive in a straight line on a deserted road out of the town, stop, drive off turn left, stop, drive off turn right, stop.
There was a sort of theory but she did not know a single answer!
SHE PASSED.

you don't see too many accidents though

but it's all different when you see an elephant coming towards you

and do you notice how there is no lane discipline there? and that 3 lanes seem to flow 8 lanes worth of traffic?



that sai, i've driven over there and it's easy once you get the hang of it, but maybe thats because i drive a white van in london
