"Two buses overtaking in your direction, no road left..."

Darling I like you but not so fast. Border Roads Organisation. Photo by Sherap SherpaBefore we start the ride we do a briefing. The dangers of the highway, amongst other things.

Take corners slowly and close to the road edge or
YOU'LL BE IN DANGER!

What's my Highway Mantra? “There’s a Tata round every corner, roaring towards me...There's a Tata round every corner..."

And in case we forget to say it "Blow Your Horn!" In Asia 'blowing your Horn' says, “I am coming, I am here, be careful, the road is narrow, don't squash me."

We'll remind you on the highway. Don't miss the point when it comes to ‘horn blowing’.

In the words of a the Border Roads Organisation, "Darling I like you but not so fast"

You must always 'Expect the Unexpected'; two buses overtaking in your direction, no road left... is a typical challenge.
