Yes...
...several times. I was lucky enough to be sent to India by my fucking awful employers (Norwich Union - bunch of useless twats).

I actually had a wonderful time, 3 months of living like a king, rinsing the expenses and making sure that the locals that we had employed had a fucking ace time on the company $$$ before it all went tits up and they got given the heave-ho with out a reference or any kind of come back (thats the way it goes - you might not like offshoring but its the guys over there who have it REALLY bad).

Anyway - Indian driving is hilarious (in a kind of disorganised confusion havok kind of way) until you start to see the bodies piling up.Mainly young men on motorcycles headless,armless,crashing into the back of lorry's,being rammed off the road and generally in a fucking state (especially the poor cyclist who was pedalling away down the road when a lorry went past, catching an over head cable, which fell down and pretty much cut him in two).

It was pretty horrible for my middle class white ass from the sticks who'd never seen anything worse than an old fella falling off a bicycle.

Apologies for language!
