Bicycle waala and traffic signal
Read my old post on traffic rules in Hyderabad.
Few days back we had a discussion on lunch table about driving in Hyderabad. Sandeep was talking about the attitude of some men when a woman drives a car. He had noticed very often in Necklace road that even bicycle waalas can't digest if a lady riding in a car is overtaking them. They try hard not to let the woman go!!
As I have written earlier, driving is quite difficult in Hyderabad city. So if you are a frequent driver in Hyderabad and try to drive in the same manner in any other part of world, most probably you will be caught for traffic violations! Because you have either forgotten traffic rules or your hands and legs itches to do a rash drive as you are used to do the same!!
Today morning, I was stuck in the traffic near paradise circle and was the first one in the line. I hate to be the first one in traffic jam because, I just can't bear the shouting and honking that my following drivers/vehicles make alerting me not to wait for green light to move my car!!
Few weeks back one person got out of his car and knocked continuously at my window, for not trying to violate traffic rules (ie, for stopping my car when Red lights are on)!
Anyway, coming back to today, few minutes after me a bicycle rider came and stopped his bicycle right in front of me. He looked at me and suddenly pushed his bicycle in front of my car in the opposite direction. Now his bicycle is actually covering complete road in front of me and I can never make a move until he decides. And I have to take a right turn!
The green light was on and the fellow was looking at me and with a weird laugh as if "I can not let a woman ride peacefully in a car." I kept honking and he continued looking at me with a weird smile. Everybody behind me started honking 'asking' me to move. The cope was wandering here and there as if "this is not my job, you please sort out. I am not finding any means to fill my pocket".
Signal light almost turned into yellow and that is when he decided that he should let me go. He pedaled with all his energy as he didn't want me to overtake him in that crowd.
