There is a law requiring helmets for scooter and motorbike riders but many do not pay any attention to it. Kids are the most vulnerable but the least likely to be wearing a helmet.

This is a traffic jam at a roundabout in Kandy. There was no such thing as a right of way. Those most aggressive at pushing their way through made the best time. The two vehicles to the right were trying to cut across the flow of traffic. They made it.

A typical small town street with zero planning and many entrepreneurial shops - and ever-present tuk-tuks.

Here we are disembarking from the train. It was a challenge just to get away from the station to where Sam was parked.

This kid was running a full marathon in the heat - bare foot. Those on the scooters were cheering him on.

One of those 4 abreast situations. The bus wins every time. You just have to move over and make room for it.
