Bangalore Auto : King of Bangalore streets

Sometimes, I really think what is the meaning of etiquette especially when you drive in the Indian streets especially currently booming cities like Bengaluru(Bangalore). Its well understood that these cities are densely populated and on the top, there are construction works for Metro is going on. Educated peoples like me hate to break traffic rules but giving the current state of road conditions, if you stick to rules and netiquettes then I think you would be the last person in any traffic jam. Everybody wants to reach @ destination as early as possible. No care whether the fellow bike or car is disturbed. First of all autos, three wheeler commercial vehicles, dont care or maybe dont know what is traffic rule and what is etiquette to be maintained while driving in a road. These people dont care about road condition, they stop their vehicle anywhere they want. If you complain they started arguing with you. They park their vehicle anywhere they want, no regard or ignorant about the congestion. This is a menace which should be controlled by Govt.
On top of that they dont go by govt prescribed fare and they generally charge more. Think about this from the perspective of a daily passenger.
The second issue is, there are a set of people who has very less knowledge or dont know how to behave in traffic. They have only one motto, how to reach destination quickly. But they dont realize with their lack of respect to fellow vehicle makes them more late to destination.

The third set of peoples are learners, two wheelers, water tankers, bullock carts.
As per rule, Learners vehicles should not be there in street during peak time i.e. after 7:00AM till 7:00PM but still you can find these vehicles even @ 10:00AM which is making congestion more irritating. First of all these learners block the narrow road and they even dont know how to safe drive.
