Very interesting and unique topic on Pakwheels.com.
Shows how Pakwheels.com could be there for a 1000 years and Pakwheelers would still come up with unique places to cover (and discover).

I decided to add some thoughts that interested me:
So the blades of grass nearest to the road, half of them is in India and half in Pakistan? I mean if we consider a single isolated blade of grass which is (apparently) one foot high, so it root and 6 inches of stem are in India, while the top part is being blown by the air in Pakistan?
Similarly, the branches of that tree, one of them growing into India, and one of them in Pakistan. No pun intended, this tree literally has roots both in India and Pakistan!
It is a narrow road, suppose a vehicle comes from the opposite side and the driver has to take one wheel off the road, it means half you car is in India and half in Pakistan? Or maybe the driver (RHD vehicle) is in Pakistan and the passenger is in India?
Technically, would it be considered a border violation? But the passenger didn't commit the violation on his her own! He/she just happened to be sitting in a vehicle and it is the driver who with a single flick of the steering sent them into another country!
Suppose you had something in hand, it dropped and rolled off the road, would you need to get a visa to pick it back?
On a more serious note, it also adds to the perspective and serves as education as to why are border violations by mistake so common. Many Indians are in Pakistani jail and Many Pakistanis are in Indian jail who have crossed the border by mistake, or their cattle (goat/sheep) ran away into the other country, and to herd their property back they ran after it. Most of these border violations committed are by ordinary villagers who lack the literacy, money and other necessary skills to bring their loved one back.
It is a purely humanitarian issue which keeps rearing its head again and again during diplomatic talks, many prisoners are released every year but only after many years of their lives are lost.
User education: Due to above considerations, no-man's land is established between borders of countries. Also, thoroughfares are not constructed near land borders, and general movement of the public is restricted and discouraged.
