WATCH OUT!

Here are the top few irritants that we tend to come across on most Indian roads.

#10 - The Dog.

These so called lovable strays tend to cross your path and stay there, AT WILL. You move left, it moves left. You move right, it moves right. You're screwed.

#9 - The School kids on the cycles.

Three or sometimes upto four kids. With fancy backpacks. Riding like they own the road.
You're stuck behind them. You honk. They dont give a rats whatever.

#8 - The college girl Triad.

Same pattern, but these are college girls. Fancy bandana under the helmet. usually on Activas, and chatting with each other. You honk. They continue chatting.

#7 - The cow.

It will amble off in random directions. Or will sit down.Right in the middle of the road. You honk .HA HA.

#6 - The yamaha RX punk.

Will overtake you. From nowhere. Will fly away to fast to hear you curse too.

#5 - The lorry on the fast lane.

Will go slower than normal lorries. You dont even honk.

#4 - The tail-gate killer.

You're trying to pass a truck. You inch towards the right to see if there's any oncoming
traffic. woops, Omni headed your way. You Try to get back behind the truck. Viola! Look
who occupied your place while you were aaway! Why, its the Lady in the Maruti! **R.I.P**

**edit**

If this is at night, The OMNI fellow is driving with the high beam on. You're blinded.


#3 - The Villager at the Median.

Not Racist. but he's just crossed the median. You're hurtling towards him. He freezes. You
honk. He goes Huh?. usually holds his Lungi. You're screwed.

#2 - The PushCart guy.

He doesnt have brakes. No steering either. Your call.

#1 - The Signal Honker.

You're at the front of the pack waiting at a red light. Count down. 8 - 7 - 6- 5 - and the guy
behind you- he goes- **HOONKKKK**-4 - 3 - 2.... DUDE! I'M A GUY. I *WILL* EXPLODE
OFF THE LINE AS SOON AS IT TURNS GREEN, SO HOLD ON TO YOUR BLADDER FOR
JUST TWO MORE SECONDS! YOU JERK!




Well, these are it.I THINK its in order too. :)


Good luck, ride safe, and ALWAYS wear a helmet.

totally true... not to forget the irritating guy in the signal whose car breaks down when it turns green or the guy who wants to take a left but comes in from the far right AT the turning
