- A little "close calls" compilation, featuring some of the madest moments of over 7000kms on Indian roads.
Unbelievable, how Indian traffic changes your attitude towards danger, and life in general... ;-)

"What side of the road do you drive on? " India: Yes
😂😂😂😂
Your choice
“A lone doesn’t have a side? What do you mean sir”
That’s the only question on the knowledge test

I crossed India on a Enfield with 2 Persons and a lot of luggage in 2001. It was always,difficult to drive on the dirttrack beside the road at high speed . But, to prevent accidents, I had to do it many times . At last, you learn to drive propperly on the indian roads. If youve learned to manage that, no traffic in the world will shock you . But when I came back to Germany and drove my Bike here, I had a different style . I took every gap between cars and used the horn very much. It took a while , to get rid of indian driving style. Some still remained and will never go. Using the Horn more than unual saved my health for several times here in Germany.
Freewheeling lawless German streets, are a recipe for an avalanche of karma. Law-abiding streets and highways might be a good gift, for little German boys and girls this Christmas. Most parents pass on the freewheeling family phenomenon. This cyclical, suicidal, city slicker syndrome is nasty for cyclists and motorcyclists.

I know exactly what you mean. After touring India and most of Vietnam on motorbikes, I was an appalling UK rider back at home. And, I am still very impatient
So basically, you drive anywhere you want
Any road is the right road as long as it gets you where you're going.
Yes
Every person in India has been in a car accident
@@christermannen So a traffic official has the most pointless job in India
@@RedLorryYellowLorry_ a traffic officials job in India is to 'catch as many people on road as they can' not 'as many law breakers on road as they can'. You get it.
i love how pedestrians aren't really bothered by cars coming at them. Having a near death experience any time you set foot outside is just a part of life in India :))
In vietnam igs like that to
Hanoii mostly
I'm Indian and you guys ride like pros, great situational awareness - vital skill for riders and drivers in India . Take a bow.
no they dont if a indian riders rides in the us or a developed nation he will probably run a red light and get killed
they are not pro, is only the normal way of driving
@@allanplutus3408 no I think it would be the opposite, we'd be more aware if we were in the US.
Running red lights is a rare phenomenon in the US I'm guessing, so if it was a green light, they wouldn't care much to look around before crossing the intersection.
Over here green means nothing lol, people cross anyway so we'd be more aware at all times irrespective of the light.
Traffic rules here are more like traffic suggestions I would say lol
@@-WhizzBang- Unfortunately, the rider has not shown the bright side of the country. We have one of world's largest road network. The rider took off-roads not highways or not shown highways.
@@-WhizzBang- you just have one sided knowledge
Overtaking police on the wrong side of the road (off the asphalt part), then almost crashing into an oncoming van, almost running over a goat, and continuing like it's no big deal holding thumbs up and shit. This European guy picked up the local way of driving pretty fast!
0:46 dude walking across like an OG!
This is not madness... This is INDIA!!!
it's a miacle you guys survived riding at those speeds on those roads in THAT traffic.
Pfff, in that traffic with my scooter i'd lost them in like 3 passes. Not even joking. Their bikes ar like so fkng large that they've must be stopped a while on certain points where me, whit my scooter, and most importantly with the acceleration that its got compare to those bikes, i could beat em really fast on those tiny spaces. Btw im flexin my skills hard. And no i'm not sorry
@@oidocrop9581 lol i need confidence like you
@@oidocrop9581 in india se vuoi fare come fai in italia muori e il mezzo lo devi buttare non è una skill siccome noi italiani siamo bravi e ce ne accorgiamo di chi sta con lo scooter che vuole passare nel traffico
Hey friend , fantastic your video I live in Brazil and thought the traffic here was complicated, the more there in india is a lot of fun on my next trip I want to go to india, what I call pure adventure, pedestrian walking in the middle of the car, cows and goats across the street, cities after rural area, walking in the face against, that country is incredible is very cool loved congratulations for your video, make more videos like this I'm laughing all day.
You are welcome!
you have learnt indian way of driving... kudos...
But he doesn’t have his wife, 12 kids and a goat on the bike.
nice name
It is like a video game !
Driving in India Rules : Less Acceleration and More Breaking - Less Speed and More Smiles
Yeah a healthy conscience. Instead of an avalanche of bad karma!
More honking
Any traffic sign will cause a commotion
God that looks like fun, even crazier than Vietnam!
Vietnam has better roads,india is lack of basic infrastructure
Alexander Sterett agreed but not all cities are the same. it depends on which state you visit
9:16 his face is priceless!
It's a constant situation of "Try not to bump into each other, but keep up the speed"
4:31 Is this snake.🤨
No
Spoiled bicycle tires
Great riding through that traffic. I guess you just end up adapting , and after a while it all seems natural...
this is not chaos , this is how traffic need to look like in the whole world.
here you dont have crashes that everybody is dead like in america.
Dugi Devet you are a great rider
Dugi Devet You're sick and ignorant. India has one of highest road fatalities in the world, more than 150,000 people are killed annually.
are you stupid?
@MRsjovealek and @nabeelmohammedca
Are you making those numbers just to be cool or that is a fact?
One up in the comments say 250 000, other say 150 000, seems like numbers drastically fallen each comment. lol
Looks like today is cool to play with numbers of death.
Just like with Hitler and Stalin numbers od death its just cool to make up those numbers to be cool.
Now are you playing cool or is just ignorance the fact?
If you learn driving on Indian roads, you can easily drive anywhere in the world. Foreigners may face trouble in driving here, but We-Indians have learnt sharp driving. You'll encounter most of the Indians driving on these roads easily.
Driving level: India
Jack Sperrow Indians cannot drive where it is mandatory to obey traffic rules
Replace "sharp" with "reckless" and you may have a valid point.
PJ ski you can say it. but not all the ppl.. even i do follow the rules and try to make others
I visited india and even though they are reckless, they are still really but really good drivers. Me and my mother were really impress.... never the less you always feel like you are gonna die at any moment haha
After riding through India I wondered why all the Indian drivers everywhere else in the world suck so bad
and my dad gets pissed off when there is four people in front of him, he would have a stroke if this was him driving.
When everyone drives "like an idiot", you also expect everyone to do so. Instead of having a bunch of signs, traffic lights and rules everywhere, people communicate with each other on the road. People there know there's a lot going on so they stay focused, opposed to riding on a highway with cruise control and your eyes on your phone. From my experiences (Kerala), they tend to have a smile on their face and drive a lot less aggressively than we do in the west.
Iv been dodging this video and now I see how awesome this really was.
its not awesome - it is suicidal and a danger to everyone else - what a twat!!
4:31 A dead snake on the side of the road.
I've paused over there but it was not a 🐍
Its a bicycle tyre.
At the beginning it seems chaotic, but after a while you start to see the order, like Neo in Matrix
They be like
Dafuq's a traffic light?
India has 2 sides. Good and the bad. Glad you came to India :) hope to ride with you guys someday
and THAT was the GOOD side?????????????????????????
@@usernamemykel Nah it's the worst...In southern states its really good compared to northern states...Experience depends on where you ride ;-)
@@vasanthad8085 But no adventure in South. It's a tourism place for retired ppl. Chill and relax kind of. Young blood and adrenaline always goes to Northern states like HP, UK, JK, etc
India really is a beautiful country. I don't get why everybody is calling it a shit hole.
These people are all hardworking and are all just trying to get by. I'd like to visit there one day.
+jmc7788 Hope your visit to my motherland is enjoyable and memorable. People like you are always welcome to our country with open arms. Hope you do visit us soon!!
Go there first and then have an opinion..
+jmc7788 Enjoy your stay. Let me know how you like the drinking water. www.channelnewsasia.com/image/2478186/1454328861000/large16x9/768/432/india-rubbish.jpg
Mike K- I do not know what that has to do with the drinking water???
Mike K- If u do not like India then do not come here, we do not want people like you here but stop spreading negativity about a country!!
Lane splitting may be illegal in some US states, but it’s extremely common in India and many other countries with these kinds of streets.
This is what Cyberpunk is like now.
Imagine Grand Theft India.
Even the game couldn't handle it
Thanks for sharing your insightful and well filmed video, ah the crazy and sometimes wonderfulness that is India. We film natural sound and sight go pro walks too so it's really good to see others doing something similar so well. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more.
You guys are not following the unwritten rules of driving in India... you're just driving like you can do whatever you want.
I know Indian traffic looks like chaos, but there's a beautiful hidden dynamic behind it that you guys should pay more attention to.
You are good drivers who might be able to narrowly escape an accident, but you're endangering a lot of lives because people aren't used to your aggressive driving and won't know how to respond.
Second, people won't tell you any of this because they respect you as foreigners or they just don't want to interfere. Even the police. Normally this type of driving would probably get shouted/honked at.
I know this is not Europe and you can take liberty to do whatever the fuck you want to, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. Please refrain from trying to kill any more humans... or goats.
What are those hidden rules? Just out of my curiosity ?
@@djwestbrook36 Don't overtake on the left, honk before overtaking, honk while overtaking, don't look into the eyes of another person about to cross you and then speed in front of them in the last split second, when you're the one making the eye contact or driving faster you have priority - the other person will look back in agreement and slow down a little to give you way, don't slow down or stop and then start driving really fast again, don't stop in general, maintain the same speed if possible, don't randomly switch lanes, use indicators, don't stop for pedestrians - slow down and drive around them, cows are holy, don't drive off the road, drive only on the road, do not speed up if you have the option to slow down, drive in a predictable manner by observing and copying others, there are invisible lines on the road, please imagine the traffic lights etc.
Any of these rules can be broken if there's absolutely no other way to move ahead. But if there is, then they absolutely shouldn't. People will understand that.
Usually when people drive like assholes it's because they're inpatient or because the people behind them are impatient. There's a gridlock that's happening. These guys in the video, however, drive like this for no freaking reason and it's throwing everyone off because of how random it is. There is a constant slow flow that needs to be maintained. Indian traffic is like water. These guys drive like donkeys with square wheels - stuttering, slowing down, speeding up, moving left and right all over the place. It's fucking insane. It puts others in danger.
For reference of the "flow" I'm talking about check out this video:
czcams.com/video/UEIn8GJIg0E/video.html
It looks very chaotic at first, but there's a calm hidden dynamic behind it.
Of course people are injured and killed in prodigious quantities due to this horrific traffic - but since it's exhilarating and exciting, apparently that makes it OK.
The human race, is to keep ahead of the pack lest we get behind and are attacked by wolves (tailgaters). The Vestibular Structure in the inner ear creates wild thrills and cold chills, due to it's misinterpretation of our motion. This equilibrium device is responsible for all of the freewheeling behaviour, internationally. The resulting lawless streets and communities, resulted in an avalanche of karma. This bloodbath is unsightly and in need of serious spending on street lights and traffic police in India and China.
The perfect definition of wtf
What a CF. Geez, all of the honking with drive me crazy.
u don't overtake from left side in India.
+Gaurav naik
Sorry but that is wrong! Everyone does it! ;-)
+triplehoernchen Yeah! There's no other option!
+Vipin Nath doesn't mean you do the wrong thing.
+Gaurav naik Then what are you supposed to do? Wait for hours & then overtake at right side!
+triplehoernchen Others are telling the same reason too!
What a great trip...enjoyed it...thanks
Unfathomable levels of pollution. Truly incredible India
Oh I got nauseated watching this. This makes Russian traffic look very tame. I will never go to India after watching this. Wow what a video! Some incredible bike driver.
Great video. India is a beautiful country.
+Platzhallter Lol, depends on how you look at it.
well if you compare to hell, a little bit.
Ah, here we go with the racist name calling.. Grow up people, stop being so narrow minded..
Would you be so kind as to point out an example of beautiful in this video because all I see is an overcrowded, filthy hell hole?
You call this beautiful? Overpopulated, overcrowded, underfed, unhygienic, corrupt. Yeah, so beautiful!
loved very beautiful, huge lack of infrastructure though...hope to go there someday...
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Salty boi, did we steal your jobs?
i am from India and i must say traffic here is really pathetic with very poor infrastructure. Forget the towns even the major cities are crumbling. Yes, infrastructure is one the reasons for traffic problems but the main reason which i think are Indians themselves. Everybody here wants to go first and not give way to a pedestrian or a crossing vehicle. No respect to driving rules, no law and order to check it. So these problems are bound to happen
With the 70th anniversary in India approaching in 2018, the adults might actually stop injuring, maiming, terrorizing and killing India's youth on their roads. Imagine an India, where children aren't terrorized when they leave their homes. Imagine an India, where the government spends money on traffic lights and traffic police, instead of ignoring mass-disobedience on India's streets and highways. Imagine!
With it's fabulous 70th birthday approaching the Indian mind will patriotically master all of it's problems. Watch!
San Jose Sharks With it's fabulous 70th Anniversary approaching, the Indian mind will patriotically master all of it's problems. Watch!
as an Indian, I would request the world to give us a decade before you judge us.
We are in the midst of a revolution
Probably your caste problem has caused your streets, to be an equalizing function.
That's only a part of India.
There are better places you should visit. each state in India is different.
Vinith Nair Agreed bro...IDK why did not he show much highway footage but the ones with dirty roads in them
+Rohil Bhakt Reread the video title.
Because Hihways are boring! - No one is interested in watching someone go 100km/h in a straight line for hours...
Most of Indian roads are still dirt tracks...idiot
clarky clarky pora worst nayala
Seems like the goal of this game is to never stop riding...
now THATS how you ride in India! Looks extremely chaotic in the video, but somehow it works out. We don't have as many accidents as you would imagine
Bro I liked your video even subscribed I watched All your video but India is a very big country even for us it's impossible to know the every part of country but you are a rider I'm also a rider so bike riding in India is incomplete without ladakh ride and if u want to try then North east ride
in India rules of the world changes. you can be who you want to be. show-off ends here.
Congratulations, you have achieved level 99 Hazard Perception!
Hey, how come you don't fall from the bike when climbing back to the asphalt road from the dirt. It seems like you're parallel to the bump that separates the road from the dirt path. I would expect the bike to just crash, me alonh with it. Sorry for the dumb question, I guess I know nothing about motorcycles
Thank you so much.....that was FUN!
Cheers from Canada North
1st law on Indian traffic: there are no laws
You are driving more harshly then average Indians, like overtsking without using horn from left side of trucks.
Oh wow, You crossed my house in kolkata :D
In the beginning of the video the mirrow was ok, at the middle of the video the left mirrow is cracked. No idea what could been happen...
I you hit someone in India be prepared to fork out and pay all the relatives that show up or they'll retaliate with whatever at hand.
hash reality but true, we dont wait for police to sort it out.
This happened with me.
A person hit me with his car and i got some scratches on my arm and foot, no serious injury. He took me to doctor, get me bandaged and paid the money. He even gave me 1000 rupee for my medicines. Funny thing is, I didn't ask for monry or anything. He did all by himself.
Pope dude.... this is India 😍
I got all scraped up just watching this video.
4:15 - is that a road restoration or something? 0.o
love from india ride safe its jungle out here 😀
What game is that?
The Grafics are really good.
who is here after watching 'fluffy goes to india'?
His way of riding is like that of an Indian teenager :D
This made me nostalgic for India like nothing else, haha
So basically any moderately flat surface, paved or not is free game for travel in any direction, at any speed, by any type of vehicle? Shit I think I saw a semi behind a herd of cattle somewhere in this video.
The starting bit is from Aligarh in UP, North of India
Love From Mandi Himanchal Pradesh India....😘✌🏻 @HP33
when u cross pakistan boarder and enter india so you 100% secure your life :)
Pakistan is much more safer than india deat
Just look at the pathetic condition of roads
Roads condition and traffic rules are much worse than Pakistan in india like shown in the vedeo....Pakistan is 100 pc secure for the tourists...
Commenting about a country you have never visited hhahahhahaha grow up
@@dharuvverma9959 ajit doval is a part of your government. What was he btw???? Wasnt he a RAW agent??
You would think that all their cars would be smashed up from accidents but they all look fine to me.
and I think that I was complaining of traffic here in Lombardy. Nice video!
This is like a Mad Max movie. Crazy.
What beautiful machines are those? I m in love with them.
How can anything ever be accomplished in that country TOTALLY chaotic
OMG...what a crazy country.....no even a single traffic sign or traffic light????.....do they know what is a STOP or a YIELD sign
+theneptune2011 they r in the country side...remote village areas
ppl wid traffic sense live here. You can't make a movie like DIE HARD 4 in india. we're programmed to look around even on green signals.
nicely said...
It's not a Road , It's a battle game . From India , State : Tripura .
You drive good man!!!
Wish you a good life
We are from Italy and we spent one year in India by Royal Enfield. Horn horn every second 📯📯📯.We are survived 😉😉😉😉🤣
Truly awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Great ride to watch on large screen tv. Biking in India one has to dodge everything, including cows :-) . I have a feeling that amny pros bikers probably fo to India just to practice maneuvering through all the chaos and sharpen their skills.
This video reminds me that we Indians are in hurry to make our nation developed
Specifically this is UP! One of the most happening places on earth.
THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA 🤗🇮🇳 THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD , WE NEVER DO SCAM AND WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳
4:24 to 5:30 NH-5 near outskirts of Visakhapatnam
Kodipelli Rajesh yes nenu kuda chusa
Nh5 is in Himachal Pradesh , in North India
Riding like that on the road you do not know in a country where are the average number of fatalities on the highways is Unbelievable. It is an excess of 1000 people a day that are killed on those roads in India
is that all you have to share from your travel in India?
hahaha
GTA India
Yup, that's pretty accurate
Looks like India needs to increase spending on road maintenance.
This is hardcore stuff! Awesome, awesome video. What was going on at 7:36? Why were all those people gathered around you?
It was really crazy, at first some people gathered to look at us and our bikes while we were having a chai at the roadside, and then the people that gathered around us were just attracting even more people and in the end the whole road was blocked...
I see that you have a Turkish flag. The amount of danger on Turkish roads is not that different from India - so you must have kinda felt like home.
+Burc Misirlioglu Austrian flag, idiot
You got great riding skills bro.
Thanks! :-)
wow btw anyone can drive in empty road..thrill is drive in indian city roads..lots of fun..lots of challenges
+ajay singh Yup all is fun until you get your brain matter splattered on the road.
+Pole Star haha well that's depend on person. .accident Happens in every country USA/UK/EUROPE so its not about indian roads always
yup...the roads & people there are primitive
Why is this guy in such a hurry? He makes things look worse . he is actually part of the problem
Sweet video, shot for uploading.
And people here in the middle east complain about local driving...at least we have roads and we go in one direction on a certain lane haha
if i am not wrong, at 1:23 this place is Aligarh
Excellent ride, video etc, real in every friken bit, WHICH BIKE , that ain't no Royal Enfiled, and was it yours, verses a rental?
They are still our own KTM 640 Adventures!
I figured as much. Please if I could indulge one more comment. I have done adventures in Thailand, Greece, Italy, Turkey etc., BUT never India, and the idea of a Royal Enfield makes me very nervous. There are KTMS to rent, but not in the locations I was planning. Is it safe to say from your experience that a proper adventure bike is the ONLY safe way to transverse the road conditions I expect,..... repairs or availability aside. I see you are an expert rider, so I value what ever thought you have on this one.... thanks in advance Michael
Michael Wilson you can try the Royal Enfield Himalayan... currently the best tourer in India and copes well with the road condition too.
Michael Wilson I recommend the RE Himalayan, but if you are looking for rentals , go for Royal enfield 500variants..they wil keep you going anywhere.lots of expert mechanics in every corner of the country.
Scholar and a gentleman..... Though I LOVE KTM in all its many forms, RE Himalayan sounds like the bike, thanks for your sage advice.
Great driving btw, reminds me of Thailand only less mild, an understatement no doubt, but surely one experience worth the effort! Thank you Rohil
this hardly looks any worse than driving in some parts of italy!
Lawless?
That place looks so awesome I get excited
Indian cities/towns are hell. But highways are charming. For riders.
Why do you show only bad patches ????
Hey.. thanks for coming Andhra pradesh.. Hope you guys gone through Hyderabad traffic
