I have noted a couple of comments from our guides about driving in India:

We don’t use the lane system.

To drive safely in India it is said you need three things: good horn, good brakes, good luck.

Yesterday we took in the Temples at Khajuraho after a flight here from Varanasi. Today a long drive to Agra. Our train trip was cancelled- no clear reason: the weather, delays, lack of sanitation. Sounds like I will prefer the car.
