Our "driver" was either still drunk or on drugs and it was all he could do to keep his eyes open. Lane roaming, missed gears, appalling overtaking and no clue what he was doing (OK, that sounds like a normal day in the office for most Indian drivers) it has been my most terrifying drive in living memory.
After 10 minutes on the road, he stopped and checked to make sure the doors were closed. After 20 minutes he pulled up to take a piss in a field and within 40 minutes he stopped to get a cup of tea and another cock stop.
When roads were clear he was barely reaching 60 kmph and through dense traffic and built up areas he was trying to hit warp speed 3.
I repeatedly had to ask if he was OK or if he was tired and all he kept saying was all was well. In that case, can you speed up? We were being overtaken by rickshaws. The guy was a liability and when he stopped for the 4th time I got a tad angry.
If looks could...
We had to get him angry to stop him from falling asleep at the wheel and at least that worked. Not happy or impressed and we'll be letting the hotel know sharpish.

"Now WTF?"
"Lunch break, it's 13:30".
"Right. We're the customer and you are our driver. We'll suggest when it's time to stop for lunch, not you. Now get a move on, we have a plane to catch."
