Watch this YouTube video and scratch your head in wonderment or in praise of Indians dexterity or just discount it as a video running in fast-forward mode. Can traffic be really so bad anywhere?
Traffic usually isn't so bad. Not in big cities like Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore or Chennai, but it could be worse in smaller places like Patna or Kanpur. I just returned from a 3 week trip from India and was actually part of such traffic (no, not behind the wheel) on many occasions.
