Driving in India as a Tourist - What it’s like *CRAZY*

- CarVisionLA's Inesh R. travels to New Delhi, India and explores India's interesting car culture. We also get the opportunity to drive in a Maruti Suzuki Baleno in India and see how different this is from driving in the USA! Not only are we driving on the opposite side, there is so much more to be aware of including animals and livestock in the roadway. The Baleno starts at about 5.6 Lakh INR which is approximately $7,500 USD. It is very simple transportation and is perfect for navigating India's traffic. In this video, we explore driving in India, India traffic, transportation in India, and what it's like to drive in India. As an NRI American, this was truly an interesting and eye-opening experience and I look forward to highlighting more of India's amazing and interesting car culture in future videos!

Lol
Everyday is like gta driving here
Hahaha
GTA online lol
Fgh
@@sivaprasadm2484 fc😝
But still it is Fun once u get Into it how to Deal with it.
The main difference regarding the horn is as follows:
US - You made a driving mistake and I am mad at you
India - I am right here. Please don't hit me.
I like India more for that
Those 1.2 liter cars become formula 1 in highways😂 even a 800 cc alto guy drives like he's doing laps
It's actually more than enough to make foreigners skip a heart beat 😜
Yes sure..
They drive fast cars slow and we drive slow cars fast.
@@protograde2723 not 100 percent true but sure
@@protograde2723 Lindoo and their false pride never dies.
everyone should come to India to improve their driving skills 😎
Everyone becomes good at corners and at wrong side lol!!!🤣🤣🤣
@@vikalpyadav9282 one thing I learn is to drive in sidewalks by bike and ignore police and everything 😂
No thanks 😅. You know we already have too many _heavy_ drivers in India.
@@smipy 😂
No , thank you
Seems like you are the only one following the traffic rule. This is enough reason for a traffic police to stop you.
😂😂
Indian License should be the most approved/powerful license in the world 😂😂
The reason it is not approved is because Indian drivers don't follow the traffic rules.
That's how I still drive in the usa
@@shruthirajan2428 still all of them are alive
@@sumedhkosheify The bar is pretty low, if the goal is to only ensure that no one is dead.
@@shruthirajan2428 yeah
But that's the only goal i see while driving here
watching this as an Indian is hilarious to me 🤣
😂😂😂
So true!!
Yeppers
I am a foreigner studying here in India. The traffic is crazy, I drive bike till now I crush 2 😂. But this road u show is free. .. show the main roads in evening or morning of course if u can dirve 😂.
I am being a pro when I go back to my country,
We Indians drive at 40 Kmph on such roads. 10 kmph is very less.
bro overtaking in india is done legally through the right side since its the driver side and going past thru the left side is not safe and its illegal. but they do becoz they need to just go past us
Interesting! Same here in the US, but it is flipped. The left lane is the passing lane, so it is generally unsafe to use the right lane to overtake somebody.
@@CarVisionLA Also the horns are mainly to make the other driver aware of him approaching your vehicle from a blind corner / behind some parked vehicle on the side of the road. Honking is also used if a person wants you to shift a little to the left so he can over take you from the right hand side.
Horns in India is communicating, speaking and a way of life
Cars in the USA have large cylinder capacities but they're tuned for low revs, so they're not necessarily faster than a 1.2 car in Europe or India.
It’s the traffic in India that slows down not the vehicle
Funniest video I watched today 😂 You missed something special very common on Indian roads - when roads are blocked, bikers start driving on the sidewalk 😎
Haha tru dat
Like my small brother
WUT REALLY!?!😬🥴
If u drive in india roads u can drive any part of the world eg. mountains, bad roads etc u can be very skilled driver
Definitely!
Indeed in terms of skill, but not in terms of obedience to laws and PATIENCE. Indian drivers just don't have patience abroad xD
@@satista2381 right! I would love to see some Indian drivers take on the 405 or 101 out in LA lmao 🤣
@@pdrake458 😂
@@pdrake458 The freeways I spent my teenage years on.
As an indian he might get a fine for obeying the laws LOL
Indian Licence should excepted world over as the most valuable and skilled🤣😂🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
But if we actually look into it, license is given without proper testing of the candidates in India and that is one major coz of this bad drivers
In india, horn is just to let others to know that you're around so that they get cautious. You drive on your reflexes here and once you get the hold of it , it's pretty easy to drive at 50-60 mph but yeah...sometimes you can't even go beyond 10 mph
Imagine being used to calm roads where everyone drives on the right and then suddenly switching to driving in India. The transition is like going from a hot tub to an ice bath
Not too different from some part in Indonesia. for next visit, will try to drive myself. Thank you for the video
Be careful, jeez
This guy is so good at multitasking. I can’t drive and talk to people or even have the radio on when I drive (and I live in the US and have never driven in any other country). But also I’ve only been driving for a year and a half, so maybe I’ll get better at that.
1.5 yrs.. Yeah you won't get any better.
don't sit on the driver's seat in countries like India, otherwise you would crash on neutral
Indians overtake in risky situations while playing music and cracking jokes with friends and relatives. I faced it.
Multi tasking adds an extra challenge for fun
@@TheFourthWinchester They may if they drive in more difficult situations
Driving in Iran makes you crazy too. But people drive much quicker ( more than 70 Kms per hour ) as Tehran is full of highways and also most of our cars aren't safe. You must have a very high experience to drive in Iran because if you crash, you die!!
Driving is USA is a norm
Driving in India is a skill
I have born in India Mumbai living in usa New York
I will confuse when I came to india from usa so many accidents in Indian roads but I can ride bike upto 80
bhai magar kehna kya chahte ho....
"Should i try driving in India, buy you only live once" kinda contradictory statement 🤣😂
Same here in major Cities in Bangladesh, except there's no holy cows to block the already jamned traffic.
Its like playing subway surfers where you have to dodge obstacles like idiot people , erratic drivers, cows ,dogs and parked cars without any rules.
I went to my country is a little better but hard to drive I was there last for 10 days in Dominican Republic.
What was that like?
@@CarVisionLA Less Satanic than Indian roads
Consider this as your training for next level driving skills and instinct...
:/
What's the point of owning a superfast car when you got speed limits in USA at around 60 MPH? We drive all the way to 90 mph no issue.
Because nobody actually follows the speed limits and highways everybody drives above the speed limit
@@carlosalvarado2720 The cops don't follow 😂. The heck we care
@@carlosalvarado2720 what about the speed cams
@@_adi_5 They don't exist
No one follows the speed limits. You just keep an eye out for cops or find a sports car that is speeding and follow them. I drive 90 mph all the time and haven't gotten a speeding ticket since I was a teenager.
Bro for Indians it's mutual understanding between drivers and people on the road. for us it's very normal.
Best video to watch whenever you travel to India. It's totally crazy in India
Next GTA game, GTA India. I would definitely buy it and play nonstop. The driving seems very interesting.
You mean Mumbai gullies
New York is a diet India. Horns and aggressive driving are common.
Watching this after watching Gabriel Iglesias talk about going to India 😆
Sir I am from India , my question is drive in European roads is tough or easy than India??
Drive like a normal Indian on European roads without adapting and you will soon...
1) Appear in a "worst driving fails ever" type video. Those videos look more like instructional material when you have driven in India.
2) Be on first name terms with the local traffic cops and magistrates
3) Get yourself fined into oblivion
4) Crash, possibly kill someone
I am a Brit who has been driving in India for the last 10 days. British driving is not perfect by any means but Indian drving is mad, often terrifying. Many of my instincts are just wrong here. If I drive safe by Euro standards I often find I am driving dangerous here. You would find the same there.
final level at driving lesson game be like:
You beep to let another driver know you are there. Speed bumps on the expressway!
as a tourist, u have surprisingly good skills and pay attention, unless ur a professional driver or racer.
How to drive in India: Don't!
You couldn't pay me to drive in India. I will drive in the big city in the US (live in quite a small town so never really have and that would scare me!). I would even give it a shot in the UK and Australia even with extremely narrow roads, India? Not a chance!
haha I would drive there. It doesn't look like a big deal really. Just amusing. Although walking/running might be faster. haha
I am traveling to India in may. I came here to look for some adventurous riders here! I have never drove in india. I like the word there is only one life!! I am going to take a rental car! Wish me good luck to be alive 😂😂😂
Do update us on how it goes 😄
@@abhinavsharma5935 I hope so ✌️😄
@@soumya2321 just remember the trick is to act confident and experienced even though you may have never driven here and you will be fine 😄👍
I understand you do see the odd cow or dog, but I don't think you see an elephant or a camel haha. It is pretty shit to drive in India though.
In north India camels are common. In East bengal elephants are common
@@Fish-ey9lt yeah but they aren't that common on the road as a general road. Sure you see one near the temple or a camel somewhere in Jaipur. But they aren't wandering the street randomly. One thing I found super annoying while living in America is the sheer number of people with dogs LMAO. Stupid animals always keep barking at my feet.
Indian license should be accepted worldwide and drive should be accepted as a pro
This video reminds me some old towns/rural areas in China lolllll, I was looking at my dad with my shocked face, I was like how did you drive through dad????
why is everyone in a rush? litterally everyone pedal to the metal, no such thing as a sunday driver in india
Don't forget guys talking in the middle of the road and all the dogs.
How many elephants have you seen on roads
Are they all suicidal in India? It seems to be just as dangerous to be a motorist as a pedestrian.
Why Did You Get A Manual Transmission Car Instead An Automatic Transmission
The one I borrowed for this video had a manual. Many cars in India are not automatics. Also, I’m used to driving stick shift in LHD cars, so I wanted to see what it was like to drive one with RHD.
@@CarVisionLA That Sucks I Can’t Drive If There’s No Automatic Transmission Cars
If you drive around india or even russia and China with an automatic then your whole driving experience becomes too easy. With a manual thats where the real fun challenge comes
Nah... I've been driving stick all my life. I don't have to think about it. I am so attuned to engine revs, power delivery that changing gear happens as instinctively as walking. Zero thought needed to decide when to change or when using the controls to do so. I value the fine control it gives me. I would not buy an automatic and would only rent one if there was no manual option. I consider autos an inferior choice.
In that road i can go at 60 kmph
Wow that takes skill!
@@CarVisionLA bro we drive such road daily like peds crossing.& head to head car comming like that
Ghanta
@@thejuspv7571 Lamba pheka na isne? 😂
Translation: Lied through his teeth 😂
@@gkdsama I usually drive in third gear in traffic like this, I must be a bad driver I guess
Also you need tons of 3m scratch remover handy for commuting every day in india 🤣😂😂
😂😂😂
Does India 🇮🇳 Have Automatic Transmission Cars
Yes
@@frenchfries-potatoshivam9392 Good
I got bored so i searched foreigners driving in inda. Now im happy 😂😂
I have driving experience in India proud to b Indian my age is 15
Drive on a Sunday here in Mexico it’s basically the same thing
Here in india this aint what u even call something tough , he didnt drive through rush hours and office time in metro cities .
This is an empty road!
Bus drivers and alto owners are best at driving here
4:25 yeh do Mercedes Indian ki izzat bacha li 😂😂
An indian driver cannot have an accident in any other country
415 people die everyday in road accidents in India.
That biker at 6:01 is on the phone while riding and no helmet!😂😂
This is very normal..why do u even consider it as a thing?😅
He is literally driving on empty roads
This is where I see myself in the couple decades. I know the world won't be the same at that time as it is today.
This would a massacre if you send karens there
"Most of the world use metric" hahaha
I mean, that looks normal to me.. Traffic really looks like that here in some asian countries.
If you can drive in India you can drive anywhere in the world they say
Bruh, this is nothing compared to how people drive in Morocco and specifically Casablanca, trust me
overtaking is risky!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? i do it all the time🤣🤣🤣🤣
Home to up bro 😎 then you feel real during in india is worse to drive people suddenly come in front of to crosh road
1 RULE IN INDIA
THERE ARE NO RULES.
Which area of Delhi were you in ? Damn the traffic is cr*p in this area.
In India 2 in 10 violates traffic signal, 90% people will fail if there is a written test on traffic driving rules, atleast 3 in 1 either scold or get scold while driving, wrong side driving is quite common and people think they are driving correctly, quality of 50% road are pathetic, most of the Indian roads are planned during British era and before 50 years, hardly 1 or 2 cars passed on a road but now on the same road there 100 &100 vehicles running, this list goes on.... Ideally Indian roads don't fit for westerners....
Presses horn ..
Horn : pip pip pip
Bro why are u not driving in the main city and showing the bad streets
Itna sensitive kyon ho jata hai bhai. Expressway mei India ka character aur bhi ubhar ke dikhta hai poora.
And India mei maximum roads aise hi internal roads hote hai. Aur waise bhi ye agar main road mei jayega, toh 5 minute bhi zinda nai bachega 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
It's normal streets, not bad, just narrow
Superb job!
We honk just because we can't abuse by pressing horn.
Do u want to be pro driver habebi come to India
Omg i would never go there
Well. Kind of like Brazil in some aspects.
I am like wait what u ain't riding that thing fast ? why?
Is like driving in Buenos Aires but without the cows
Lmao
Two feet.... two inch more than enough pass on 😃
I think indians would ace the uk hazard perception test lol
you got nice driving skill if you can drive that smoothly in this of traffic
Haha thank you!
I can drive more smoothly and fast.. 😜
@@Drpawankumarnagwanshi noice 🙃
This is nothing. Come to kolkata
@@tirthadeepghosh4031 bruh i live in UP

Tesla FSD would fry itself to death in India.
Um the baleno is a *premium car here try something more cheap the alto or redi go
Nice video
Those are Tuk Tuks not rickshaws 😆
Ok
U got good driving skills ..i drive here in india do u think i can drive safely in north america?
I guess you can but better follow the rules if you don't wanna crash or get a ticket.
Keep in mind to stop at red 😀
Reminds me so much of the simpsons episode with the Asian lady saying *i turn now good luck everyone else*
Total free for all just gotta dodge everthing.
That's family guy 😂
I could never go to India, honestly
And in India all cars have touch screen now and the car u r driving is not top model
India is best place to drive
go with an indian driver and watch them how they drive
so i guess noone in india gets a ticket.....lol
Camels and elephants😂😂
so you chose to drive a tincan.
Honk if you wanna live
