Commuting in Bangalore

I'm not alone anymore in Bangalore. Two colleagues joined me, and now we have to share one driver. Twice a day, we almost have a fight. Everyone tries to sit on the backseat, because next to the driver, one feels much more exposed:



Here, our driver tried to overtake a lorry in a narrow lane, eventually he succeeded. This is an absolutely normal driving behaviour. Did I mention that there are no seat belts?
