Bangalore traffic is something to hold your breath for. First is the ignorance of traffic rules, second is the lack of personal safety awareness and third the the excessive honking.
I am amazed traffic flows when most people drive without observing much of the traffic rules, like keeping to your lane, give right of way. I am even more amazed that I have not seen a single accident on the road yet. By not observing basic traffic rules, people actually put themselves in harm ways, especially when they cross a busy street by faith alone, faith that they will get across to the other side safely. That’s a lot of faith!
The most intolerable thing is the honking, as if the traffic itself does not generate enough noise. Honking does not do much either, no one pays attention to it, people use it as a way to say “hi”. Bumper sticker encourages drivers to sound their honk. I really don’t understand how does this help the traffic. Stress relief?
No one should try a hand on Bangalore roads unless you are one brave soul, real brave soul!
