Traffic in India

That lady in the top photo is riding a motorcycle at high speeds side-saddle! No helmets sighted yet. There are not only a ton of people in the back of that tuk tuk (called a scooty here) in the second photo, there are two people sitting with the driver, more or less on his lap! The bottom photo shows Hyderabad's new system of 'flyovers' (aka overpasses).

These pictures don't show it, but it is truly incredible the tiny tiny margins between travelers on foot, bike, scooter, tuk tuk, car, buses, and then waterbuffalo--all these, sharing the road, albeit with MANY honks. Honking seems to be an entire language in India.
