Default Driving and traffic in New Delhi

I normally drive my s2000 in NZ most of the year and then drive around in the crazy indian traffic in a Suzuki swift (which is a whole lot of fun) for a couple of months a year.
Here's a video I made trying to show the driving experience in a place like Delhi in India.
I couldn't imagine owning my s2000 back in India, I would be stressed about it getting dinged all the time.
Hope you enjoy it.

haha, I've been to Bangalore! I agree, you've got it much worse!
Made this for my friends and family in NZ who complain about traffic in Auckland.
Thanks for watching!

All the bikes filtering thru traffic would drive me nuts. That and the optional lane keeping.

All traffic rules optional and two rules in Bangalore traffic.

1) if there is an opening you must go for it.
2) move around so you can prevent any openings.

Seriously though, if it’s not in your peripheral vision it doesn’t exist.

If you’re down in b-town again let me know.
