On the Road

The other day when I was riding my scooty, there were quite a few things which left me infuriated. This post is actually an inspiration from that day.

Things which leave me cursing on the road:

  • Where there are no dividers, people who drive on the other lane even when there are enough vehicles coming from the opposite sides.
  • The sharp, sudden holes surfacing in the middle of the roads (no wonder I have fallen twice, back to back)
  • People driving with high beam on.
  • Poor street lighting – what are we paying taxes for!
  • Some chauvinists, who try to show off that they can drive faster
  • The slow pace at which the roads are made, and the fast pace in which it gets deteriorated
  • The way autorickshawalas never give proper signal while taking a turn, it would always be sudden, abrupt.

I will surely keep adding my woes (because all the ideas crop up when I am on the road)

  3. Hey ani_aset: It is really crazy! Of course, now I am far more careful, and anyways started learning to drive car, so in a motnh or so would not have to worry that much :-)
    Hey Smita: You are so right! But I must admit, I also honk quite a lot ;-) When in Rome, do what the Romans do (or something like that!)

  4. Ah I miss driving on Pune roads! But Hyderabad isn't bad either! :)

    I myself kinda drive fast (faster than most on the road) and you HAVE to honk to get some space!

    Nice blog BTW. :)
