That must have been the countryside, because all I heard was horns... no gestures or [expletive deleted].

I was about to say any urban area in California between 6AM and 11PM, but that takes the cake right there.

Looks like a bunch of ants. :lol: Man! Talk about some "near-misses". :hellno:
Did yall see the pedestrians? They're just walking.. There was a couple of times, it looked like they were about to get runned over, and they never jumped, moved out of the way, nothing...just kept on walking along. :hellno: I tell ya what...if they walked around town in our towns here, they wouldn't live long. :hellno:

I've always found it kinda funny how they drive in India, pedestrians have no right of way whatsoever, cross the street if you dare. Kinda like the "Dodgeball" movie. "If you dodge a car you can dodge a ball, now go." The vehicles just all stand on the horn together and bully their way thru the crowd with the gas pedal on the floor usually, it is definetly not a place for the timid or courteous driver, they will eat you alive. I've seen the same thing in person in the Bahamas, no patience or courtesy with other drivers, go or get your ***** run off the road. If your a pedestrian, you better cross the street quickly, they're barely slowing down for you.

No, driving in Dallas is worse. You get points for every pedestrian you can hit. The number of points vary according to where you hit the pedestrian. :lol:

You get more points on surface streets. :thumbsup: Side streets and alleyways are safe havens for pedestrians.
