think you got traffic?

Really enjoyed the wheelies, and riding off on the dirt shoulder of the road to pass traffic.
Looks like chaos rules there, every intersection is a free-for-all.
Never though anything could make me appreciate NYC traffic.
This does the trick.
 
Yep, you can keep it, I've been to a couple of places like that when I was younger. Now fun now for me though.
 
Dispatch riding around London was not quite like that, I didn't see many tut-tuts or cows about, but around 4 pm onwards around some of the terminal stations there were an abundance of what the taxi drivers called "lemmings"! Either way, both can be a scary place to keep dodging an accident.
 
Brilliant video, love it!

I spent a year in India, it’s fascinating. It looks like chaos and no rules to us, but it’s not the case, it’s just very different rules. Even crossing the road as a foreigner seems near impossible, but the locals just stroll across in between moving vehicles, it’s all very strange to see.

Still very bloody dangerous though, road traffic injuries and deaths are ridiculously high, and that’s still whilst most of the population still has no motorised transport.

The inner cities look very chaotic, and they are, but it’s not that dangerous becasue everyone is moving so slowly.

Out of the city and on to the ‘main’ roads is where it gets really dangerous. I rode the coast along the Bay of Biscay. It was the most frightening experience of my life.

When I used to return to U.K. I’d land at Heathrow and get onto the M25 and think “wow this is so quiet”...!
 
Don't think anyone would want to buy one there, you won't last 2 weeks before you plant yourself either up the butt end region of a cow or an elephant!
 
Looked like a different kind of fun to me. We're so lucky we live where there's signal-controlled, police patrolled, polite and orderly good old USA traffic.



I've never ridden in South Asia, or L.A. but Dallas and Chicago can be just about as impossible.

I moved out of LA in 1979. I got sick and tired of the traffic and all the people. I drive through there now occasionally, and cant believe what it is like now....
 
Makes Isle of Man look tame.

Wait, i have an idea....
 
A very beautiful Country but like most places I go , I avoid big populations regardless of what any city has to offer , just a happy backwards country boy ....
 
mo Poonjab ridin' i had a dream (nitemare) about this very thing! no lie! i was riding my bike and folks were coming at me head on!
 
Sorry, I can not see the problem (stop thinking like a foreigner) and that is not high density traffic for India.

The LA post is just self generated western congestion because the drivers are not savvy (smart) like in India/ Asia.

I can not think of anything better in this moment than on a train in India with tea and sandwich's looking out the window as the countryside goes by.
