Of late, the Bangalore traffic police have been aggressively adding indicators at signals. These indicators count down the number of seconds to the next light change. While they work well when you are stopped at a red light, the effect they have while counting down from green to red is something else altogether. They unleash a paranoia among drivers who look at the reducing amount of time and honk continually while trying their best to speed in bumper-to-bumper traffic!
I wouldn't be surprised if the frenzied psyche of the drivers at a green light counting down to red actually leads to accidents!

The fact remains: Bangalore Motorists are insane. Do they actually NEED any excuse to honk or drive looking to KILL. No matter how busy or empty the road is, traffic lights or no traffic lights, residential area or highway... they are some how always in a hurry and don't like the the idea of others driving ahead or coming any where near their way!!!!
ReplyDeleteMore than better roads.... we need more mental asylums. May be they should just take up the place of all those wine bars, malls - housing all those wonderful high-end multiplexes and "international" brands and "international schools" springing up at every street corner on a daily basis). Atleast this way the rest of us can be spared of these maniacs riding these obscene "world class" menace with 4 wheels
