Driving in Delhi. Part 2.

Trust me, I had no intentions of writing a sequel to "Driving in Delhi. Part 1." for quite sometime now. But when I wrote that post almost an year ago, I knew something revolutionary will happen again in my driving life, and I'll be forced to write again to vent out. What a "seer" I'm!

Its not that I haven't come across any frustrating incident on road in this one year, but I was waiting for the right time. I was waiting for my frustration level to reach its peak. So here I am, blabbering something really sensible this time.

Let me start by describing the few qualities of Delhi driver. Though I'm very sure that these traits are common to the moronic drivers of every city.

1. No brains, thus no indicators.
The lack of use of indicator around you indicates the driver is a stupid person. Trust me, people here are so much fascinated by the turns of the roads that out of excitement they just fail to pull that switch below the steering wheel. Abey, indicator dene me kya bijli tere ghar se jati hai jo bill zada ane ka dar hai? I mean come on, you need to tell your fellow drivers that you intend to change your route and that they have to be cautious. People would just drive at the fastest speed they can and take a turn, at the same speed. What happens then? The turner would go ahead at his own pace of pleasure and the cars behind that can experience a chain of collision. I really hate these people. And I love those people who would indicate even while changing their lanes. Discipline on roads is the best kind of discipline. 2. No driving sense, no parking Sense - Makes sense.
I run short of words when I have to comment on the driving sense of the people here. Parking sense seems an easy target. Let me keep it simple.
3. Car = Speed, no T&C.
Turns are meant to help you take the turns. They are also meant to slow you down. The narrow lanes in the roads of Delhi are meant for I don't know what, but one is supposed to drive there, slowly. No one is assessing your driver skills there. Also, parking lots are no racing tracks.

4. The smart phones for over-smart people.
No, you do not talk on phone while driving. And NO. You do not text while driving at all! People might think that they are smart enough to do that, but its false. It reduces the reaction time.

5.Everyone is a born musician. Car horn is the best instrument.
I have no idea why people honk their car horns at a red light. Make music at your place, road is not the best place to do it. At turn, you are supposed to blow the horn. But that is the time when suddenly everyone is concerned about the noise pollution. I'm sure that can happen only in Delhi!

If you learned driving say 10 years back, you are lucky. Learning to drive today is not possible on Delhi roads.
