When we visited Chennai in December 2007 and January 2008, one thing that struck me was the traffic. Overwhelmingly chaotic and noisy with incessant honking. That it was raining did not make it easier. Hats off to all those expert drivers who must have a big dose of courage, intuition, skill, and God’s providential protection.
This is a compilation of three different occasions.
Courage to tremble 
I can safely presume that you have not visited Bangalore or Mumbai. Chennai is far better than other cities when it comes to traffic management. Most of the drivers are disciplined and follow the rules, thats why we have not experienced chaos on roads.
