When there isn't a general strike the roads and traffic in Chennai are congested with every conceivable mode of transport to say the least. You don't half see some sights and as there doesn't seem to be many laws enforcing safety, half, no actually make that MOST of the time you see things that leave your heart in your mouth. Like the family of 6 on a motorbike, or the small baby sleeping across the petrol tank of a motorbike, while the father who is wearing a crash helmet zooms down the Toll Road. The buses so overloaded that there are people hanging onto the windows on the outside, or, even lying on the roofs! Here are some photos of some of the sights I've seen. The quality isn't always good because they've been taken from inside the car whilst on the move but I think you'll get the picture!
Overloaded Lorry from the Front!
And, from the back!
A Rush Hour Lorry Load of Coconuts
On the way to Work Perhaps?
On the Way to School - I didn't manage to snap this one from the back but there were in fact at least 20 children on this truck all in their school uniforms!
Banana Anyone?
