"Having driven through the streets of Paris during their 'rush hour' and considering their roads extremely dangerous to drive on, I was frightened out of my wits by the way that coach drivers drove their vehicles around the hair-pin mountain-top bends during a recent Italian holiday three years ago. However, when I look at this photograph of Himachel, Pradesh, India which my friend Savi Sachdev posted on face book, there is simple no way that you would ever catch me riding in one of these buses. I'd sooner walk the fifty miles or crawl up the Kyber Pass!" William Forde: January 7th, 2015.
