These vehicles are amazing. In Hindi they are known as a "Just do it" and are made usually from an old jeep chassis, with a jeep gearbox and running train (unless something else turns up) and are generally powered by a water pump motor. No tax, no insurance and no liabilities! This bit of Highway 11 from Jaipur to Agra is a spanking new dual carriageway but quite a bit is still under construction. When finished the journey time will drop from 7.5 hours to 4.5 hours. We got immune to slow moving, usually agricultural and local, traffic approaching us on the wrong side of the road.
