Default Selfdrive in Sri Lanka

Hello,
Can somebody advise me about selfdrive in Sri Lanka?
Is it safe? How is traffic? How are the roads?
Thanks a lot

Its better to hire the car with the driver which will be cheaper
instead of dealing with the local craziness.

I agree we hired a minibus for about 3.000 rupees a day with english
speaking driver
He was crazy too. but drove us all the way safely and we both were happy.

Roads are narrow and heavily trafficed. Police are corrupt and capricious.

You can get an a/c car and driver (inclusive of the drivers food and
accommodation; fuel and insurance) for $35 to $45 per day. Beats self drive.
