Slow Down!
..I say to myself. Why are you following so close. Whoa. There can't be 2 inches between our bumpers?! Bang. Smash.
He frikkin hit the car in front of us. It was inevitable. What was he thinking.
The guy in front starts to open his door, and my driver flashes his lights, and we just carry on as though nothing has happened.
Cacophony and chaos.
The only 2 words that can possibly describe Cairo traffic. I'm scared.
There are no rules.
I am not exaggerating.
Lanes do not exist. No stop signs. No stop lights.
In less than 24 hours I have zoomed past pedestrians in the middle of the road within 2 inches at least 500 times. Both drivers I have had, and all drivers, have a compulsion to honk their horns ever 30 seconds.
I saw a transit bus with no signal lights. The vehicle was designed without them.
There is no insurance here.
You must experience it to believe it.

yaahhhh that was pretty much my experiance of Mumbai. Indian drivers think that every day is the Formula 1 races...and they love lovvvvvvvvvvvve to use their horns. The top of all big trucks and busses say "Horn Please!"
Oh, and weaving amongst insane drivers while trying to avoid the Elephants carrying timber is allways interesting too
