@taniwharugby they must be better at it than their South Asian counterparts. As Kruse notes, the roads are littered with evidence they're not good at Chinese whispers.
A taxi driver in Delhi said to me "the secret to driving in India is having three things; "good brakes, a good horn and good luck".

I've twice completely feared for my life in a car, but driven by others, once in Vietnam where our driver from Hue down to the caves (can't remember their names) is the worst driver who just passed everything regardless of oncoming traffic
I developed a theory about that while over there. Namely that they drove cars in the same manner they ride bikes. One makes sense, the other doesn't.
Still better than the complete disregard for human life on display in India. Coaches overtaking on blind curves with certain death if you leave the "road".
Yeah the bikes definitely make sense, I've got great footage from a bus I was in Saigon which went down the wrong one way street, just backed into the traffic and the scooters just all went around, no issues, no honking.
I haven't been to India yet.

I kind of respect the Indian model - everything infront of you is your problem, everything behind you is theirs.
