Rush hour in the old city of Delhi. Officials in India's capital issued more than 300,000 driver's licenses last year. At one city licensing office this week, the test consisted of turning on the ignition and driving in a wide circle that took about a minute.
So don't complain next time you get stuck in a traffic jam. :)

great shot!Happy WW!
Yikes, that is just plain scary to me! Have a great day maryt!!
nice catch! Happy WW... hope you'll visit mine too...
only in the third world err developing countries. I got mine without driving tests - is that what you call it?(though i took driving lessons). good thing i still don't have a car (LOL)
which reminds me. my license is almost a year expired already.
Geez, I thought Manhattan was bad.
Wow, I need my driving license, maybe I'll just go and do the test over there lol
Explains a lot though lol
By the way the linky did work :)
Looks very busy!!!! Happy WW :)
Oh my. That's really a mess. Yikes. Excellent WW post. Have a great Wordless Wednesday. :)
Hi Teach! I wouldn't want to drive (??) in that spot. It reminded me of traffic in Cairo or in a larger Mexican city.
I'll bet everyone knew how to honk his horn!
Happy WW/WT.
..
Great colors and composition!
Not that Is a jam... Gah even I could pass that driving test on the 3rd attempt, 4th tops!
Eek! If that's all they have to do to get a license - how do they manage to drive around without killing each other en masse? Great pic!
That is one place I'll rather walk with my 2 feet!! :P
I would have to learn to cycle better thats for sure.
I don't like to be caught in a jam. Argh!! (=
Thanks everyone for commenting! I appreciate it! :)
The interesting thing is that the traffic still moves! I don't know how they do it.
Happy WW!
Walking will be a much faster way to be in any place! I've been in an even more crowded traffic and appointments were still met.
Thanks for sharing.
