That's pretty cool but really has no bearing on this discussion, there are countless other factors to chaotic motoring in developing nations such as livestock being conveyed down public streets, what appears to be utter indifference to lanes and/or lane marking, numerous different kinds of traffic going different directions in the same space, vehicles being overloaded and/or used for other-than-their-intended-purpose, homebuilt cobblejobs, lack of traffic control devices, lack of traffic enforcement.


All of that makes motoring in a developing nation in any kind of vehicle an entirely different animal from motoring in the US with a de-nerfed vehicle.
