Kill me or ask me to drive in India!
I came across this site recently and decided to contribute to it. I am from Europe and am here on an exchange study tour. I have driven around in some of my friend’s small cars in India and find it queer that the bonnet is placed such that the person driving cannot see what’s right in front of the car. I do not know if I should look at the right of the car or the left, which is quiet impossible to see.
I wonder how people drive around on “assumptions”, as my friend puts it. It is amazing that most people in India have mastered this technique. Also flustering is the masses of three-wheel cars and two-wheelers who seem to constantly surround and escort you from the time you start till you reach your destination – absolute chaos!
I have decided to stop brooding over these matters and sit blissfully ignorant beside my smart Indian friend who drives like his hair is on fire!

I must confess my Tata indigo car bonnet is so high that my visibility of the left corner is seriously hampered. I surveyed and found that most cars are designed the same way in India and hence have given up the through to buy another car.
Anyhow i do not have any other problems with it.
