Driving in India is hazardous to one's health. And it's especially bad in a large metropolis such as New Delhi. No kidding. India does not enforce traffic laws and driving is accomplished through using the horn. Trucks like this one here all have a sign such as "Sound Horn" or "Use Your Horn Please." And the drivers are serious. To get around, a driver honks. When cars approach you, you honk. When you want something, you honk. When you have no other reason to honk, you honk. My head throbbed after spending hours in the car. And no, I didn't drive a car in Delhi. Are you kidding?
