Highway Heroes

Driving in India is not for the faint hearted, Western road rules do not apply, especially if you’re on a motor bike with your family and half your possessions on the back. Crash helmets or any protection are a rarity. This new photo story was shot on a recent trip to Rajasthan on major highways around the state. The bikers here look like they’re enjoying the ultimate highway freedom. Sadly, seventy thousand people died in 2022 in motorbike accidents in India, a figure that’s risen every year for the last decade. See more from the project: alanpowdrill.com
