Day 8 - For all the Chennai autokarans

This is a small reminder for all the autokarans in Chennai. (Stress on the italicized words)

1. You guys are not the King of Road.
2. People pay you guys exhorbitant amount of money, to get them to the destination safely in one piece.
3. Honking at other vehicles when the signal is RED will not help, apart from creating one hell of a noise.
4. Bumping two-wheelers from the rear to get them moving in jam packed traffic is insanity.
5. There are things called INDICATORS. Use them it'll help us a lot.
6. Do not snake your way in traffic. The autos are quite big in size, incase you people have never noticed.
7. When you guys hit someone from the rear and make them fall AND scream at them like it was their mistake, you look like complete morons.
8. When you ask for fares, stick to one figure. Asking for more, because the actual destination was 1 foot too far away than you anticipated, is foolishness and being so blatantly greedy is equivalent to shamelessness.

PS: Not all the autokarans are bad here, some have our style thalaiva's photos and behave very modestly like he did in the movie :)

PPS: The above PS does not however apply to the senseless pea-brained moron who nearly knocked me over the flyover today!!!!
