One of the things that makes me explode with expletives is the non-signalling or wrong signalling of the drivers. At the previous turn, they'd have signaled Right; it would blink on forever!

I woul...Well. Well, “show them the middle finger?”<br /><br />I would think twice before doing that again, certainly I will hesitate. Because, I remember very well about one morning driving to the office, I showed the finger to a recalcitrant bus driver and he chased my car like a rogue elephant for a few kilometers, that I was forced to take a long detour to the office, actually fearing that he may follow me there and create a ruckus.<br /><br />In fact I remember, that I was protesting the incessant blaring of his horn.<br />Manoeuvring the “8” is just a little part. The problem with Indian traffic laws and system is that there is no actual coaching on traffic regulations and what a driver should observe. There are hardly mandatory hours to be coached hands on the road.<br />Then since us Indians are foreign to civic sense we pile upon the agony on the roads.<br />My wife C got her license to drive and then one day when I sat with her , while she took the wheel, she was confused between the break pedal and the accelerator. It was funny and bizarre too.<br />The pity is Indian driving license is a piece of rubbish outside the country. So much for our advancement!<br /><br />The bottom line, Bindu, is that we are impervious and callous to regulations and laws of our land. We believe that everything can be circumvented in India. I’m guilty too.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.com
