I think that many of you moaning about the standards of driving in the UK have not driven outside this country very much. Many Euro countries have driving standards that make me scared to be on the road......and outside Europe it just gets worse. I doubt Ill ever be brave enough to drive in India again........bloody terrifying. Your side of the road too potholed for your artic?.....just drive on the other side....the cars will get out of your way! (I saw this happen more than once). Safer and more reassuring to use taxis......and just trust in the drivers experience of the conditions......and keep your eyes tight shut until you reach your destination.
As a side story someone said I should try booking a Limo instead of a taxi....a better car for only a few Rupees more.....so I did. All the taxis where I was were Hindustan Motors Ambassador taxis and they were bright yellow....when my "Limo" arrived it was exactly same car....but in Black ....and the driver wore a hat...they were the only differences............LOL!
