Common Fetishes on Hyderabad Roads


1) Stick to the Right Side:
Well, do not move over to the wrong side. Rather stick to the right side of the road even
if you are moving slow. The traffic rules say that one should only overtake from the right
side of a vehicle. Still do not think about the other person.

2) Cross over to the wrong side of the road while overtaking:
Even if the division marker says that crossing over to the other side is hazardous, forget the
concept of safety. Try to make the life of the other person as terrible as possible. Overtaking
is the most important thing in life. My time is more important than the lives of everyone on
the road.

3) U-Turns to save distance:
Take the U-turns at the end of the fly over even though it is explicitly prohibited. After all
saving the time is more important than other people's life.

4) Jump the signal at every chance:
If the person in front does not jump, blow the horn and irritate him. At any cost jump the
signal. Rules are made to be broken.

5) Blow baby blow:
Hard!! Blow the horn as frequently as possible. Even if there is a traffic jam, just keep
blowing the horn.

6) The zig-zag winneth:
The road is a place where one performs the stunts. Its the place to prove how many tricks one
has up the sleeve.

7) Music for the ears:
When I hit the brakes, let everyone know it. Let me play the tune for the song "Learning to fly"

8) Park in the optimally irritating locations:
Park in locations that would result in the maximum blockage to the traffic. Its the convenience
that matters, not the smooth movement of traffic.

9) Optimise the distance to be travelled by moving over to the wrong side:
This is a cool maneuver. First own a Mercedes Benz, then move to the wrong side of the road and
travel along that route till the next junction. This helps in reducing the distance travelled.
To hell with traffic rules.

10) Get some triplets:
Travel triples on the road. It ensures that the bike can be tested for power and hey it looks
cool to travel triples.

11) Get a high:
Go high beam. That will ensure that there is glare in the other guyz eyes. Now watch the faces
that the other guy makes. Oh yeah, he might just hit a boulder and topple over. Who cares.

Well with all these fetishes, I do not expect the Hyderabad roads to be safe anytime soon.
