Just a video that appeals to my perverted sense of humor. Reminds me of Peter Sellers skit.

The will of Allah is that these two be separated.

[Gaffer]

Sounded like a couple of Hindus to me. Worse than having your ex-wife in the seat next to you.

[Paladin2]

I was expecting a rollover...

[expat1000]

I think Samir is a Hindu name.

[Paladin2]

“Neither, it’s an Arabic name. I’m Arab, and I have Arab friends called Samir, both Muslims or Christians.”

[Gaffer]

Well, for one thing. They sure can get excited, can’t they?

When I was stationed in England in the early 1970s, there was a TV Comedy on that featured a Hindu family as the stars. It was very funny and a lot of that dialogue was the same sort of staccato back and forth seen here from the Navigator. Can’t remember the name of the program though.

>>“Neither, it’s an Arabic name. I’m Arab, and I have Arab friends called Samir, both Muslims or Christians.”

Could be, but the accent is unmistakably East Indian.

[Neidermeyer]

Some kind of production rally class ... not WRC , no roll cage .. not enough POWER ... Why does the navigators notebook appear to be BLANK?

[Paladin2]

Sounds like a Jewish mother......

[Hot Tabasco]

Why does the navigators notebook appear to be BLANK?

He's too busy watching the road for Sammy to take notes......

[Hot Tabasco]

Pakistani drivers training road test?

[lefty-lie-spy]

Awesome find. That was excellent.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yes. That was an Indian accent for certain.

[jespasinthru]

Poor Samir. You don’t teach somebody how to drive by yelling at them when they’re behind the wheel. They could get nervous and wreck the car!

[expat1000]

Glad you enjoyed it!

In case you guys don’t know what I am talking about, this is a clip from Peter Sellers’ The Party

Why are they speaking English?

[logi_cal869]

Thank you. If I am ever invited to be a spectator at one of these events, I will only attend from the safety of a bunker.

The following day Samir began working as a NYC taxi driver.

According to Ethnologue, India is considered to be the home to 398 languages out of which 11 have been reported extinct. But still there is not a single Indian language which is spoken across its length and breadth. Hindi is spoken by the majority of North Indians but it’s not a popular means of communication in southern part of India. Similarly south Indian languages - Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam - are not understood by the people of northern India. For the convenience of people, the Constitution of India has recognized 22 languages as official languages of India. These are known as Scheduled Languages and constitute the Major languages of India. India Language Map provides detailed information about these languages listed in Schedule VIII of the Constitution.

Besides these, there are Indian languages which are spoken by large masses but have still not acquired the status of Scheduled Languages of India. These languages spoken by regional people are known as regional languages of India. This includes Rajasthani, Bihari, Haryanavi, Bhili, Gondi, Tulu among others.

Some Indian languages are not widely spoken; they are given the status of minority languages. Mahl and Portuguese languages come under this category.

He certainly appears to have passed the driving test. And the English Language portion.

Why are they speaking English?

Travel tip: They all know English, if you speak it loudly and slowly enough.

[fatima]

I think he already operates a driving school in Vancouver, B.C.

Well, in suburban Surrey, actually...

Occasionally you have to reverse the word order or add vowels at the end for the particularly slow ones.

Where is the bathroom? You know, the ROOMO DEL BATHO!

[BinaryBoy]

Interesting. Thanks. I was thinking maybe somebody dubbed it to be funny. Guess it’s real.

[Ditter]

Was Samir blind or blindfolded? What was the point of the other guy telling him where to turn? I have a weird sense of humor too but that was pretty stupid.

[Neidermeyer]

Why are they speaking English? ********************************* probably because this "Turn hard left in 400 meters you f'ing moron." is more exact in meaning than "तुम मूर्ख f'ing 400 मीटर में बाएँ मुड़ें."

**************************************

In rally you have a navigator who knows every inch of the course ,, obstructions , turns , surface condition etc. This rally is a bit different because the terrain is open and visibility is good ... it is still necessary for the driver to know what the turn beyond the current piece of road is so he can set up properly ... This is especially important if you're going 100+ mph through a forest.

DRIVE LIKE A GIRL! Michelle Mouton...

[expat1000]

That’s what rally teams do. There is a navigator and and driver.

[Paladin2]

It’s really a bad to become airborne just before a sharp turn.
