Bad drivers 007 - licensed to kill

Only after we bought a car did I realise what a menace the other drivers on the road are.. Last night, we bought a car and drove back home. I was very gingerly with my car. All these years, I have taken my father's car for a drive, I never felt the funny feeling in my stomach...a feeling that nothing should happen to the car and of course, the ppl inside the car. ;-)

The road-users here are maniacs waiting to pounce on the fellow road-users... Not a single person has proper road sense here. I am surprised...Is it because of lack of education and awareness or is it because of the eternal need of man to hasten things up..?!?! Education goes a long way in creating an awareness in people's mind, be it road-sense or anything...

The funniest part is even educated people are also behaving like maniacs. Last night, we were stuck in a bad traffic jam which is unusual here. The reason was: A narrow railway bridge being constricted by road-users of both the lanes. I dont know who came to the conclusion that by hogging both the lanes of the road, one can get home faster. C'mon.. it is common sense that going in a single file will free-up the ceongestion.

where are the educated people in this town?? I have to be very careful driving in this town.I dont wanna get my car scratched at the sides... The problem is even if you are careful, you cant help it if the others around you are maniacs... sigh!!!
