In India there are a number of drives in which i have self driven my car travelling with my family. I sold my car recently. Since age 19 I have been driving either a two wheeler or 4 wheeler; in two wheeler as a bachelor we used to take 8 to 10 bikes, fully covered, leaving 2 seats back empty for emergencies and one vehicle full of tools. Drive time was always 6 to 6 in day time; rarely we did night travel also; while crossing AGUMBE NEAR SRINGERI at night 3 AM chilness outside was almost zero. We wanted to go on a LEH trip but it never happened. Seeing a place by Road only is a tasty trip. Delhi Haryana highway was the best; no head light will flash in the eyes as the divider will be having enclosures with plants and accelerating at 100 KPH in India is a pleasure; of course USA drive is different pressing 75 to 90 MPH both the cars and the roads will cooperate. Q2 TTD closed for 12 years?. Mr G shall verify before leaning on quora. Probably you mean maha samprokshanam performed every 12 years, the last was 2018 the next 2030. Till 2006 there were few bhaktas allowed to clean the area so entry for about 10days was restricted. But in 2018 they decided to stop whole bhaktas for 10 days in AUG . Maybe in 2030 the plan may change. Q8 Animals do eat papers from dustbins on the roads so all answers depend on where and how on geography and hunger.
