I found it shocking at first in India. But then I spent a month riding a motorcycle in Vietnam, where they have the same practice, maybe not quite as intense.

I found it shocking at first in India. But then I spent a month riding a motorcycle in Vietnam, where they have the same practice, maybe not quite as intense. I realised it is more like a radar system so you know what is around you. Also the larger vehicles have right of way. Once you realise this the system starts to make more sense. After I remember riding a motorcycle in Thailand and getting the shock of my life as a big jeep zoomed past me without beeping. I really missed that extra auditory information source once it was gone.
