Smacks chops. I am going to enjoy this. muhahahahahahaha.
And I’m going to do this in verse too.
First a title for this mental review:
Traffic In BANGalore
Revvvvv your engine, start your car
you have some miles to drive
Although it doesnt seem quite far
you’d be glad to make it alive
Maneuvre down a shady lane
where cow and dog doth frolick
auto drivers with shaggy mane
try to leap over cars in traffic
the potholes are quite deep you know
your car might go right in
and the retards believe in RED LIGHT. GO.
you can see some cars take a spin
and people saunter down the roads
like they’re strolling in a park
no fear of being crushed like toads
in this city of cheap land shark
the street lights work, oh pretty well
they shed a light quite bright
but just pray tell, oh why the hell
are they ON in broad day light?
the cops are busy eating bisibele bath
while motorists break each rule
though bikers sometimes feel the wrath
as the bikers are still in school
the roads are packed and crowded
like sardines in a tin
your senses, pretty clouded
from the smoke and mental din
nerves are frayed, its traumatic
CONTROL is never the keyword
to negotiate this crazy traffic
you need to morph into a bird
by the time you end your little drive
your’bheja’ is quite fried
but you’re thankful that you’re still alive
its just your patience that has died.
I hope you got the drift:)

What we need to do is:
Never jump signal lights. Wait for green. Cutting a signal can cause serious accidents.
Choose the right lane depending on what speed you are going in. Slow cars in a fast lane are a pain in the @$.
Pedestrians should respect traffic rules and not jump in front of cars - talk about deathwish.
RIGHT OF WAY - that should mean something.
Keep a fair distance from the vehicle in front of you. In a city you cant predict when someone’s going to slam the brakes.
Maintain your vehicle. City traffic can be quite taxing on the poor machine. Keep it in good condition.
Pray for sensible cops:)
