Bangalorean's have a great traffic sense !! There is no denying this fact.An outsider who follows the normal traffic rules here may end up with an accident.
I came to stay in this city two years back and was amazed and shocked at how the city traffic moves. The two wheeler riders completely seem to miss the point when it comes to wearing the helmet. Some of the ways they use or wear their helmets is hilarious. The best way to not miss a bus or train is to travel by the autos. They can challenge any formula one driver when it comes to cutting the traffic and speeding through it, sometimes just maintaining half an inch from the vehicle ahead. They need to at least make seat beats mandatory for riding these local Ferrari's.
The universal rule to be followed are as below.
1) Size matters -> The larger vehicle gets it ways. Forget the traffic rule book at home.
2) Beware of Auto's, Taxis -> If you are driving your personal vehicle please give way to auto's and taxis. They don't think twice (actually they don't think) before hitting or scratching your vehicle.
3) Beware of SUV's or the traffic elephants (no offense meant to the actual ones) -> They think they rule the road but don't know the basics of driving at all. In 90 out of 100 scenario's I observed these giant bulky vehicles create the major road blocks. There mahouts simply don't know how to tackle them. Some animals are best meant for the jungle.
Below illustrations are on a lighter note.
