Yes, the situation has improved greatly. Now nobody makes eye contact
with anyone else. Admitting a) that there is any other traffic on the
road, and b) that there are actual humans in the other vehicles is a
sign of weakness to be avoided at all costs.
you must try driving in hanoi. all the fun of delhi traffic - and not one
single traffic light in the entire city
you want to cross the road, you're advised to take a deep breath, step off
the curb and keep walking - traffic will kind of flow around you.
if you stop in your tracks and look around, you'll get mown down by someone
or the other.
