Ha ha ha ha! Ho ho ho ho! India does NOT have these words in their vocabulary!
Ok, ok there are rules. Let’s look at them:
- Cows are what rule the traffic. And you can’t touch them!
- Street lines are just as a decoration.
- So are any types of sidewalks for pedestrians.
- And so are traffic lights.
- Your priority depends on your size. And your bravery.
- First come first go.
- No mirrors – they wouldn’t survive in the tight traffic anyway.
- No side indicating except for your arm – sometimes.
- BEEP YOU HORN. Always! Everywhere! To let other know that you are on the road, taking over, behind you, in front of you, turning, making a U-turn (optimally over two lines without indicating...), braking or simply just making sure that the horn works. (warning – if you are hungry and tired and in the middle of a narrow street where there is a space for only one you may get REALLY annoyed at the rickshaw driver non-stop beeping the horn behind you in hope that you will evaporate and disappear. In exchange the
rickshaw driver may learn few new hand gestures of verbal expressions...)
- Oh, and did we mention that lights are a luxury...?
- Helmets. Ha ha ha ho ho ho.
- You would never believe how many people can fit on scooter or in rickshaw!
- PS: Sooner or later EVERYBODY steps into the cow shit...
I imagine it sooo well!
