There is something truly puzzling by traffic behaviour in India. Commonsense dictates that if you want to avoid collision, you steer in a direction opposite to one in which the other guy is headed. Not so in India. It seems their eyes follow the oncoming passenger/driver and their steering follows their eyes. Not obeying lane makers is another puzzling behaviour. People would drive opposite to the traffic flow to save a few ml. of petrol looking for a "cut" (break in the median). Sometimes the cut is man made, i.e. it wasn't meant to be there.
