Driving in India

This video was brought to my attention by another Fulbrighter, Kim Steinhorn, who we met in Washington DC in August. She just arrived in Delhi yesterday. The traffic here is exactly like the video except maybe more congested (I believe this video is from somewhere in the South of India.) The video is, however, missing cows, pigs, stray dogs. I read in the guidebook that the most serious thing you could do is to hit a cow with your car. You could actually be dragged out of your car and beaten by a mob. I haven't seen this nor know if it is true.
