SCREW Drivers of Hyderabad

No, I am not talking about the tool!!!

I drive a lot, approximately 1000kms in a month, only in the city. One of many virtues of Hyderabad traffic is that, it tests your patience, if you run out of it, then it tests your creativity (naye naye gaali jo invent karne padthe hain).

There are 3 types of drivers in Hyderabad (you can add more if u want to)

Type 1: This kind that is always suffering from constipation, they need a bathroom so bad that they usually drive very fast and overtake from the left and go zig zag thro the traffic.

Type 2: These guys play ‘Whose Vehicle is the smallest?’ The main objective of the game is to squeeze your vehicle through the narrowest of spaces. They are so INTO the game that even if there is a very wide road they only go through the narrow gap between your vehicle and the divider (or another vehicle). These guys are responsible for beauty spots on your vehicle (thaa ki nazar na lage!!). Auto wallahs and bikers lead the game but the suv’s, trucks and busses are catching up fast these days.

Type 3: These are kind who drive in their own way slowly and leisurely as though they are on a morning walk. Inko gaali do, horn bajaao kuch farak nahi padtha. They just can’t hear you (I guess they choose not to hear you). The next vehicle ahead of them will be a km away. You can usually find this type on narrow roads where only one vehicle can fit.

If you are in Hyderabad you have to fall in one of the categories (don’t even think of denying it).

Well I am mixture of all the three, usually depends on my mood!!

Irrespective of which type, we united have decided in our conscience never to follow any traffic rules, even the signals!!!

Scooter wallah ko gaali de, auto wallah ko gaali de, car wallah ko gaali de,bus wallah ko gaali de par sabse pehle khud ko gaali de!!

P.S. Junta who use high beams at night can contact me for all the maa behen ki gaali I have given them. Afterwards, I assure you that u will never use high beam!!!
