The road from Dehi to Agra is littered with the remains of wrecked trucks, and having witnessed the quality of the driving firsthand I can understand why. Never before have I experienced such bad driving standards!
No windscreen, only one headlight, and presumably appalling handling. But it's still pretty good by Indian standards!
It didn't take much for this heavily overloaded cart to leave the road. Incredibly the camel that was pulling it survived injury-free. Note the camel dung in the corner of the photo!
If a truck kills a pedestrian the driver needs to run for his life! If he's caught there's every chance that he's going to be burned alive - along with his truck.
I lost count of how many burned-out trucks I saw!

Incredibly this is a dual carriageway, and that truck really is on the wrong side of the road. But it doesn't matter because it's got its lights on.
To drive in India you need good brakes, a good horn and good luck. The driver of this Tata was lacking at least one of these things.
I think Vosa might have something to say about this one!
Fast asleep and completely oblivious to the dangers.
What a great place for a game of cards.
The driver 'persuaded' the ox to pull this serious load with a rather nasty looking stick.
The outside lane of a dual carriageway perhaps isn't the safest place to change a tyre.
