[Cheezeit]

I can't imagine driving in that mess. How the heck do they keep from running into each other w/o any stop lights or such? :Q

 

[us3rnotfound]

They all took driver's ed courses taught by X-wing pilots.

If everyone on the road is unpredictable, you tend to develop some jedi driving skills yourself.

They stop and wait.

They sped up the video slightly. It's easier in real life.

Look at the bottom right part of the video at 17 seconds.

There is a person walking insanely close in between a car and a bike.

haha - thats not that bad. There isn't even that much traffic there.

If you learn to drive in india/china - you can drive anywhere I think.

 

[Vonkhan]

none of tht got sh!t on this dude!


P.S: ya, it was filmed in Punjab, India

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

It's not as bad, but yeah, as johnjbruin said, the saying is typically that if you can drive in India/China, you've mastered the important skills and reactions to events on the road. You'll be able to drive anywhere.

It's like learning a programming language that is picky and hard to do, and then you can apply it anywhere else once you've learned the basic syntax.

hahaha that's hilarious.


About the traffic, it's like that in a lot of crowded countries! Go to a lot of the smaller cities in China and it's very similar!

except that you drive like an asshole in other countries.. trust me, I know, I'm indian.. I was brought up/learned to drive in the US but my cousins learned in India when they came to visit and drive, they really piss a lot of people off LOL.. and me trying to drive in India also pisses people off b/c my reflexes are not as quick as theirs.. especially trying to drive in downtown Bombay/ New Delhi on a scooter during peek traffic.. forget about it, just take a ricsha LOL. It is pretty fun to watch/sit on the back of a scooter though and fly all over the streets.


edit: oh yea also lots of people 'tweak' their horns to sound alll funny and stuff, its really cool lol.. you hear like "boodoobadoopooo" in a horn sound.. lots of people have different sounding ones. its like a cartoon

Haha, I know what you mean. I spent a few weeks in China a couple years ago, and when I came back, my driving was a lot more aggressive, got closer to other cars before stopping, and moved around a lot in my lane! Spending time in a place where a red light doesn't mean anything really screws up your habits!

 

[Mucho]

Watching those videos makes me dizzy.

 

[crisscross]

The video is sped up quite a bit you can tell from the speed of the people walking on the road. The motorcycle video was fricking awesome!
