Traffic in India

Traffic in India is very dangerous and without any rules, so watch out while crossing a street. There might be a three lane road but only one lane with asphalt and also the sidewalk sometimes gives way to deep canyons, so you need to jump across.

Basically, you need to learn "The strict species pecking order:

pedestrians are on the bottom and run out of the way of everything,
bicycles make way to cycle-rickshaws,
which give way auto-rickshaws,
which stop for cars,
which are subservient to trucks.
Buses stop for one thing and one thing only. Not customers - they jump on while the buses are still moving. The only thing that can stop a bus is the king of the road, the lord of the jungle and the top dog.

The holy cow."
