Although we experience Indian "driving" while in Delhi, it takes on a whole new meaning when you're actually on a highway - or "highway". Where I thought the Italians were a bit crazy for taking road signs as merely a suggestion, Indian drivers have kind of skipped the whole concept of a right of way or road rules. The road to Jaipur was nothing more than 3 lanes of road, a resource that could (and was) used by any person or animal or type of vehicle. So imagine I-70 with trucks, cars, motorcycles, motor scooters, three-wheeled cars, carts, cows, bicycles, camels - you get the idea. Also imagine a World where there really isn't constraints placed on said highway with any sort of road rules.
For example, if you are going north, but you can't get across the divided highway for a couple miles, you should feel free to drive down the southbound lane for awhile. Granted if this happened in the States, it would have been on the National Evening News faster than you can say, "White Bronco" - but it's all kind of expected here.
Oh, and I forgot, this is a picture of Gaby and Patrick at a chich-chic rest stop on the way - apparently, giving the driver a break is a good thing.
