Smile Indian Roads


Driving on indian roads is a life thrilling experience !
I never saw any speed limit indication as the road condition and the engine power of your vehicle are the two parameters which will determine your speed !!!
Then, how long you stay alive depends on the dexterity and experience of your driver.
The main problem is in fact the difference in speed of the several vehicles which are pulled by human, animal or engine power...Typically, our minibus was often overtaking a scooter or a biker, himself busy overtaking a camel cart, while we were simultaneously overtaken by a jeep or an (empty) TATA truck.....
Of course, most of the time, you could observe, in front of you, the same overtaking scenario occurring, and for the coming 5 seconds, you had nothing else to do than hold your breath, or even, sometimes, think of a nice reincarnation (in case the Hindhus were right....)
HORN please !
This is another Indian specialty : this phrase can be seen at the back of every truck or bus ! If you want to overtake this kind of vehicle : you should horn. Why ? In case of an accident, this is most of the time the first question asked by the police...

Actually it depends upon the drivers how fast or slow he or she can drive on Indian roads... At few places u can find such speed limit indicators but no one care about those.

India is democratic country so every one has right of overtaking (Means do anything what u wish) expect following the rules and regulations.

This is an unwritten fundamental right of every Indian driver and rider.

One More Thing I want to add here:

If u drive according to rules on Indian Roads then it is not sure that u will reach home safely
