What Traffic Rules?

Bangalore - There is hardly any traffic rules in Bangalore as far as I can see.
  • It is not compulsory for drivers to wear seat belts.
  • It is not compulsory for front seat passengers to wear seat belts.
  • Crossing cows has 1st priority
  • Drivers can cut into the on-coming lanes if there is no on-coming cars. The central divider line is just a guide.
  • 2-lane traffic and become 5-lane traffic.
  • Cars can cut into other driver's lane without indicating their intentions. The changing lane indicators are just a guide.
  • Honning is to tell other drivers to "get out of the way
  • Pedestrian should never stand in the central divider line to cross half-way because cars can use the central divider line too. Once we were crossing the road and standing on the central divider line until a heavy truck was coming along on the central divider line, we had to cross back to where we were - it was very dangerous.
