This is about my visit to a city and driver there.

I have drove  car in various part of India but only today I felt to write something here. I am a sort of Long Drive lover from some times. So I can say that I am pretty experienced in day to day driving as well as Highway cruising.

To add to this, I am strict follower of traffic rules, I always follow traffic rules and make others to follow too. The list of city in which I have driven car is long but yesterday was different experience.

So I will name it as :
Driving in Streets of Delhi and adjacent towns

In India, as we all know, we already do not have systematic infrastructure and if we have then mostly people do not know how to use. So Delhi is having comparatively better infrastructure  of Roads what what is the use ? People do not know about lane concept. They do not know how to change lane. Even they do not know to respect car who wants to change lane.

This is worst thing I was facing. No care was following lane rule, they were overtaking you from wrong side. And if you are trying to change lane then giving indicator is just useless. It appears as if value of indicating lights is 0 in Delhi. Every one is so much in hurry. There were moments many times when I was amazed to see that do these drivers even care about their cars ? Well, I do.. I don't want it to have scars (skretches) all over but they were just pushing their cars where there is no possible way to pass. Ultimately I had to give them way to save my car.

In other city, if you give indicators then fellow drivers really respect it, they allow you to change the direction or lane etc. But here, they were ignores it and when you look into their eyes then you will find instead they are complaining to you. What the hell !!

Next thing was Traffic rules, people were only stopping their cars when it was Red already for few seconds. Many times I saw that I stopped because it was Red signal but people were passing by on and on, it was all encouraging me to ignore RED signal ie. ideally you should slow down or stop when it is Yellow which means that now it is going to be read in a second or two but no , everyone was ignoring untill its already RED and 1 or 2 seconds are passed.

Another thing, you may have seen youth having zip-zap sort of driving. But here in Delhi, majority of driver were doing same no matter what is their age or what.  Being a youth, I was just avoiding this and was trying to follow rules but I was finding it hard to maintain because of fellow driver's irresponsibility.

So when it was time to return, I decided to go their way, I just showed all my skill of zip-zap driving and seriously I was feeling like winner in Delhi's traffic. Now I was no more respecting other people driving nearby me, I was just finding my way, no more waiting for traffic signal.
Result was that now I was having relatively better driving than earlier. Thing was that I was using engine's all grunt as if there is no tomorrow. Earlier when I was following rules and trying to be respect traffic , I was really disappointed many times and really just got lucky enough to get my car unscratched at many moments but when I was returning and on zip-zap mode, just passed through all without any glitch.

Usually I do such driving in city when I am in really hurry and when I know that reason to drive this way is strong enough else I avoid this. This way you are actually risking a lot of life and yours own too. Moreover, using your car at peak always hurts its life, you reduce engine life.

So you see that how bad company of driver resulted in one more bad driver ie. I had to drive like them.

Any Delhi guy want to comment ?

Ricky  i wont remind you this again i am tired man

oh i didnt expect u wil edit and save Sorry

Well, just to tell .. on that very day I even saw an accident when we were about leave city, same as you said.. it was a car who I think hit a car from back. Wagon-r, seriously damaged from front.

About lane concept here, well , ya generally they follow ie. not exactly but atleast they know that fast car has to be driven first lane and slower one on second - third respectively.

NO no..

They just do it without knowing it, basic rule of thumb is that if you are driving slower then remain on out of the path of faster vehicle which runs near to divider , ultimately first lane.

Here too there is no indicator and there are not even lanes properly drawn on road.

NO man.. don't not get that imagination.. its even worst than Delhi .. ie. Roads.. but generally I see people with faster speed in first lane and slower on other side.
