At first I wasn't surprised, having seen videos of Indian roads before.
Then it hit me: Grand Theft Auto: Mumbai.

Also, I do love your bike/scooter/I forget which it is.

 Goats! Why you on wrong side of road?!

 And I shall pray every night for your junk so long as you ride a bike on those roads. Christ man.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Indeed, that looks extremely uncomfortable.  By the way, how were you holding the camera?

But you know what you have to do.  Downtown, rush hour, take no prisoners.

We don't have a downtown, but I will do rush hour.

So, if you had to estimate, what percentage of the people in your area own motor vehicles? There were a good deal of pedestrians and animal carts on your drive.

Reminds me of my commute to work, except more fewer people jaywalking and me driving a car, and instead of animal carts, it's snowbirds driving slow (after servicing them at my previous jobs, something tells me they do this on purpose). Gotta love FL traffic.

Only particularly bad during the spring and summer seasons, since there are more out-of-towners and snowbird season is closing towards an end (from the cold seasons, warm seasons are another matter), and let's not forget high-schoolers on vacation. Thank God our police forces here are actually competent; they get rowdy.

EDIT:
I agree with Max, nice place (more lush and green than my place even, despite a nearby national park), despite the traffic. I was also kinda expecting IRT Deadliest Roads levels of dangerous traffic. That show makes good ol' I-4 (known for it's accident rates and traffic jams) look tame.

Hell man, do you live on a movie set? The place looks too good! I'll trade you for the cement of Sydney any day. So lush and green...
