Talk about being loaded


This was a huge metal filing cabinet on the NH13. Yes this is the highway folks. The cabinet was rocking back and forth and I was worried that it could fall off. Which has happened to me before.



This nearly took my head of as it passed on my side of the road. Way hay...!!



It never ceases to amaze me how much the Asian people can carry...! This I reckon has to be some kind of record, if anyone can beat this I would love to hear from you.

Road Rules

It was strange at first the change in culture and attitudes. This at first was most apparent in the driving techniques. Believe me that there are techniques and after a year driving in India, I think I have learned a little.

  • Might is right ( I’m bigger than you so I can kill you, so you’d better fuck off out of my way)
  • Cow is top dog on the roads in India ( Everything gives way to the Cow)
  • Lorry or bus, depending on which is heaver and bigger at the time of weighting up the situation, as to who gives way to who.
  • Big fuck off four wheel drives with as many people in it as a bus in Europe.
  • Car with usually crammed with as many people as possible. (Six or more)
  • Motorbike / Scooter with as much on it as a removal van in Europe.
  • Pedestrian
