Although driving hired cars in Chennai sometimes feels like driving in the Wild West, there are a couple of rules worth following as a tourist.

It is best to contact Chennai motor vehicle authorities to see if there are recent law changes.

If you're able to avoid larger vehicles, rather do so, as it can be difficult to manoeuvre larger vehicles in Chennai traffic.
