Madhouse on Road

While driving to the office today, I took me almost twice the time it generally does.
There was no traffic congestion on the way, no long stoppages...

It seemed as if all novice drivers, who are roaming and having a fun time on a high way, slow moving traffic like rickshaw and tractors and some crazy bus drivers, not ready to allow overtake, were present on the road!

The moment I came out of my drive way, there was an old Matiz moving in front of me and that uncleji it seemed didn't believe in driving at a normal speed or neither allowing the rest of the people to do so....There was a cute boy with him, who after every 10 seconds would peek out and wave to me!!

I wonder, why does all the roadway bus drivers feel like its an insult to them if they will allow some smaller car to over take them....I felt like stopping that bus and telling him " Bhaiya please thoda side mein chala lo na" (Please drive your bus on one side and not the middle of the road).

Just to save a few milliliters of petrol , people will go on the wrong side of the road...
The auto rickshaws instead lining up one side, have to occupy 3/4 of the road..so that they can over take each other and race........The drivers of these rickshaws are at times so young.

The funniest part is the traffic police is cool onlooker to all these happening...I don't know either no one pays a heed to them or they don't want to regulate any of this.

When will that day come when the traffic is regulated and one can enjoy the driving, at least on a national highway!!!
