Ayan Basu writes "Driving a car on Indian roads is like being in a bumper car surrounded by three-year-olds in other bumper cars who are coming at you from all different directions. You spend most of your time praying that you won’t hit anyone, although accidents are inevitable.
Lanes? what lanes .... they drive where they want! and side mirrors don't exist!
The randomness you encounter on Indian roads is primarily generated from the fact that you’re not only driving among cars, but you’re also in the midst of bicycles, wandering humans, animals, and random objects like a stray seat cushion. Your goal, in getting from point A to point B, is to dodge all of these obstacles."
Yep, a US license won't guarantee you can drive in India safely. best idea is to get an Indian driver to take you where you need to go; controlled chaos best describes the roads in India.
