Talk:Driving in India
Shortened the table under "Rules"
editConsidering that Wikivoyage is a travel guide and not an encyclopedia, I have shortened the table under "Rules" to include only motorcycles, light motor vehicles, and medium passenger vehicles, as foreign travellers usually wouldn't drive trucks or heavier vehicles on highways. Here is the original table:
| State | Motorcycle | Light motor vehicle (cars) | Medium passenger vehicle | Medium goods vehicle | Heavy vehicle/Articulated vehicle | Vehicle pulling 1 trailer | Vehicle pulling multiple trailers | All other vehicles |

Trim negative comments
editAlthough India's road transport system is undeniably horrible, as per the spirit of WV:Avoid negative reviews, the negative comments should be reduced and must not be repeated unless necessary. Instead, this article should focus on how to navigate the otherwise dangerous roads in India. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 07:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
