I have completed 1 year in Pune and I brought my bike in September 10, so almost 10+ month of driving experience. It was very challenging to drive on Pune roads, especially when you are driving a bike first time on your life directly on Pune roads.
With all that experience I observed 10 important things that I am sharing with you; I hope you don’t mind reading ?
With all that experience I observed 10 important things that I am sharing with you; I hope you don’t mind reading ?
1) You don’t need to have any qualification / document to ride the bike on roads until the cop catch you, but when cop catches you there is no document that will save you from paying the fine (bribe).
2) For any working signal if there are traffic cops at signal, then don’t bother about signal watch what cops are signaling, there action overrides any other rule.
3) 70% times the cops at signal are busy on cell and the percentage is more for the cops who are young and specially ladies.
4) Keep safe distance in front as well back, because there are always 2 way risks being hit.
5) At any time if you see the road getting forked ahead and you are behind a bike / car slow down yourself. They will take any road without indicator.
6) If lady driver's indicators are on, don’t assume that she will turn on that side; she might forget to off the indicator on previous turn, so she might take another turn.
7) On any given signal if you are in the first line, then start your bike before 10 seconds and move on the road if you stop till green, then everyone will buzz horn and will try to cross you from both sides.
8) If bike riders are doing a overtake to you, then be aware that at any time they will be in front of you without any indication and if you at all hit them then you are gone, you need to listen all scrap things.
9) If you wait at any chowk where there is no signal, for others to pass first then you will be at that chowk forever
10) If there is narrow gap between cars / buses where it is hard for a person to walk, I am sure lady driver will surely pas through it.
IMP Note: These are purely my observation and not directly or indirectly pointing to any person / gender / city, if it happened to be like that, then that will be a purely coincidence.
