Driving in India







So we arrived in India Thursday morning, I mean morning at 3:30 am...Mark and Josh Peake were there to greet us at the airport in Hyderabad and we spend the next couple hours at a lounge we rented where we could shower, Brandon slept for a bit and we had breakfast there...then at 7:30 am we got on another plane for Vizag, India where we were to spend the next couple of days at the ministry called "Church on the Rock" or C. O. T. R that I will tell you about in the next post...Once we landed in Vizag we were picked up at the airport and we traveled to C. O. T. R. ...We got to experience first hand how people drive in India...on your worst day of traffic with the craziest drivers you've never seen anything like this unless you've been to Southeast Asia...these yellow "taxi" cabs are darting in and out of traffic...nobody looks, everybody just goes and heaven help you if you are a pedestrian!!!...Also, if you don't have a horn, don't bother driving in India, it must be used every 4 seconds or less...So, after experiencing this kind of driving for a while I discovered this truck that had the sign "If driver is reckless call...." which begs the question, "What constitutes reckless driving in India?" never mind, I really don't want to know...
