AUTO RICKSHAW - RULER OF INDIAN ROADS

---

Riding an auto rickshaw is an exhilarating and yet extremely dangerous experience. Dangerous especially when it being driven on Indian Roads. For those who are training to be good auto-rickshaw driver; always keep the following rules by your heart.

Ten commandments of driving an Auto-rickshaw.

1. Do not give way to cows, goats, buffalos or any other mode of transport. It is you and only you who rules the road. Always remember - Driving is no longer a means of transportation, it's a fight of survival and road supremacy.
2. Drivers should not, by law, use the meter. You may physically force the customer( in to your rickshaw) who may seem apprehensive or even refuse your services.
3. When u do not know the location of destination, a customer asks u to drop him, instead of saying simply ‘NO’, you could suggest him the other exciting places (that you know) that he could go to.
4. Do not in any circumstances use an Indicator. (You may use it occasionally- but only when you have 'NO' intention of making a turn)
5. You have to drive at only the maximum speed and if u even think of slowing down, you might be handed a ticket for the same. And remember, Overtaking is mandatory.
6. Do not in any case use brakes. Brakes, like appendix should be considered an organ without any particular use.
7. Honk as often as you can. This will keep your auto alive otherwise it runs the risk of becoming deaf and dumb (You wouldn’t want that, would you?)
8. Make sure there in little or no distance between the vehicle ahead (if any) or behind you. You may at times crash your rickshaw here and there but Moksha could only be obtained through the head-on crash.
9. Always remember, the customer has hired your rickshaw, he hasn’t hired you. So, do not let an argument (if any) die till you have been adequately compensated.
10. If there isn’t any issue to argue, you could argue about the weather. It is recommended that the rickshaw drivers read new papers and magazine daily so that they keep themselves abreast with various arguable topics.
