Looks like downtown ABQ except they are all driving on the wrong side of the road:yikes:

WOW! Utter chaos! A million near misses and not one female driver in sight!!

 

I'll probably pay for that remark...

I was getting flashbacks watching that. It reminded me a lot of Puerto Plata, I was told noone has to take a drivers test or even write a basic rules of the road test. You just pays your 5 bucks and go according to the resort operators. I originally thought I would rent a bike or scooter when I got there , and people looked at me like I was crazy and I didnt know why until I got there....lol

Someone set me the first video I posted. I did a U Tube serach for "Driving in India" and found [ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VEELbpPSTzA]this one too[/ame]. There are a few more including a driving edict series.

 

From what I can tell with no lane markings you just go where you fit. When there is no hard separation between opposing traffic the center stripe is just a suggestion. It seems to work but I don't know if you could get a Venture out of second.

Ho Chi Minh City is much worse and they drive on the right side for us Americans.
