You have to admire the fluidity of it all, and how the motorcyclists seemed totally unphased. Come to think of it, why were there SO many motorbikes? I think the ration must have been something like 3 motorbikes to 1 car/truck.
If I recall, 90% of the motorized vehicles on Indian roads are motorcycles. This is because they’re cheap, small, lightweight and efficient. If you own a car in India you’re essentially considered part of the upper class.
But yeah, it is surprisingly fluid. How they manage to mix and match without more accidents than there already are is amazing in itself.
