#4248 TYPES OF DRIVERS IN GUWAHATI Now-a-days, driving through the streets of Guwahati is no longer a job for the faint hearted. The following category of drivers found in the streets of Guwahati will almost always ensure that you have a harrowing time while driving in this city: 1. The slow movers: Consist mostly of cyclists, rickshaw pullers and thela-waalas. They will always ignore your honking and will inevitably take sharp turns without any legitimate signals putting themselves and others at risk. Yell at them and they will either ignore you or pretend to look the other way. 2. The oldies: Consist of drivers in the age group of 60 and above who have the notion that they are the best drivers in Guwahati. They drive their cars by shutting the rear view mirrors. Their zig zag way of driving is the most annoying. Overtake them at your own risk!!! 3. The wickidos: These are experienced drivers who bring all their wickedness into play by putting up an L sign behind their vehicles to keep people away from their cars and bikes. 4. The fieros: These are school kids and teenagers who perhaps consider Guwahati as a playground for Moto GP and Need for Speed. They overtake from both sides and speed and thrill are their mottoes while driving. Unfortunately life is too cheap for them and most of them usually end up either at the hospital or at the crematorium. 5. The headbangers: These drivers will have their music players on at full volume while driving. Horn or no horn- they simply wont allow you to pass. Why? Cos they are already deafened by the music in their ears!!! 6. The beginners: These drivers have just begun to drive with an L attached to their vehicles. They drive so slowly and awkwardly that while leaving home you pray that you dont get stuck behind one of them. 7. The trash-talkers: These drivers just dont get enough of trash talking at home. Pass by them or overtake them or honk at them you will always invariably hear a MC, BC, R***i, S*******i or N**i thrown at you for no reason. More slangs anyone?? :-P 8. The owners: These drivers feel that they own the streets. One way or two way- they will always drive as if theirs is the only vehicle on the road while others are simply bystanders. 9. The rashers: These are trekker drivers or tempo drivers who drive at neck breaking speeds as if there is no tomorrow. 10. The big boys: These are drivers of buses, trucks and JCBs who will start, stop, start and then stop whenever they wish. Driving becomes all the more annoying if you are tailing one of these vehicles. They are also the most responsible for traffic jams. Did I miss any other category that you may have come across while driving?? Please let it be known... :) #Devarshi (devadutta786@gmail) M/24
