Traffic Jam |
|
There is no lane discipline in this country. The road may be two lanes in one direction, but if they can fit six lanes of traffic, they will do it. Drivers have to contend with camel and buffalo driven carts, pedestrians, the occasional elephant, not to mention the assorted motor vehilces. |
