The test was absolutely pathetic. In the oral part the examiner asked me what I should do before overtaking. I listed the checks I would make but he was not satisfied and kept on repeating the question. I listed a few more cautions but he was still not content. I finally gave up and asked him what else I should do. "Blow the horn, BLOW THE HORN," he screamed in my ear. > Mario observes: > Eddie, First of all, kudos for driving yourself, which shows you have some cajones. Most expats are too afraid to drive in India. Many locals are afraid as well. But I found your comments above hilarious. > Those of you who expect these attitudes to change in India are as CRAZY as every driver in India, even those who become perfectly normal and reasonable citizens as soon as they park their cars. > As soon as you people realize that the only rule in India is not to hit anything, then maybe you will all relax and live longer. > Eddie, the horn blowing is MANDATORY, to tell everyone else that there's another MANIAC in the vicinity that they need to watch out for:-)) > Haven't you seen the sign behind every truck in India, "BLOW HORN - PLEASE"? Get it? PLEASE!!! >
