Bike and Life - III


Chaos :

Initially coming from Calcutta where at least the traffic has some discipline if not much - the traffic in Chennai beat Calcutta traffic hands down in indiscipline. Everyone, right from the pedestrian to bicycle riders to the Lorry drivers - all of them would use the right most lane on the road. If one followed the traffic rules one would be slowed down tremendously. Even this chaos was predictable when observed minutely. Every vehicle felt that they were fastest on the road, hence would only drive in the right most lane. In their obsession for being on the right most lane of the road all these vehicles left the entire left side lanes totally free. I started using the left side lanes to travel. I ended up travelling without any hindrance at a comfortable pace right to my destination !!!!!
