If you ever travelled by roads anywhere in India, there is this one thing that surely came to your mind - What IS Happening! Driving in India is an adventure sport that everyone participates in, but has no way to win it.
For even if you are a responsible driver or ride, there is always someone all set to through you off your game.
The only respite? These amazingly funny tweets about Indian traffic! Stuck at a signal, observing the mayhem and madness unfold, the best thing is to get on to Twitter and enjoy a few laughs.
1.Been there my friend! Been there..
Today.

Me: yay! I have left early from work I can reach Juhu before time. Wooohoo. Chalo let me advance the meeting to 7pm.
Sakinaka : ? Aren’t you seeing me first .#MumbaiTraffic #SuchIsLife
Once again , never underestimate the power of the traffic at Sakinaka. Never ??
With roads and places having accessibility reservations for physically challenged, Mumbai wins the award for Best City - Differently Abled Friendly.

Good news is, Ahmedabad doesn’t have this issue as they have the best Road Transport Infrastructure, Heavy Vehicle Traffic Management and Emergency Services according to Maruti Suzuki Road Safety Index.
3.Patience? What is that?
Speed of things in this universe in ascending order:

I’m sure this isn’t the issue with Raipur, the city to have the best road safety, as stated by Maruti Suzuki Road Safety Index! Raipur dwellers feeling proud?
4. I am afraid this is true!
If you take the hours I traveled for 9 years, convert it to years & add it to my age - I would be menopausal ?#CabConversations #Quote #IndianTraffic

Hopefully, not the case in Delhi, as Maruti Suzuki Road Safety Index suggests that the capital state has the best road quality and connectivity.

Delhi, it’s time take some lessons from Bangalore!
6. Self Drive cars in India. LOL
If @TeslaMotors brought their self driving cars to India, the cars would just commit suicide after a day. #indiantraffic

But, we are learning! For instance, Mumbai citizens show the maximum empathy towards differently able through provision of various facilities. Indeed city of dreams.
7. It surprisingly makes sense
Kabhi kabhi to traffic dekh k aisa lagta hai ki gaddi chod k" bhallaldev ka rath" kharid lu bc#indiantraffic
— Dad kc (@3kshanchaudhary) May 20, 2017
But, you don’t need this rath in Chennai! Maruti Suzuki Road Safety Index suggests that this city is blessed with the best Motor Laws and Traffic Control ensuring traffic law enforcement & strict penalties for violations.
8. LOL

You my friend need to shift to Ahmedabad, Chennai or Raipur as they have the best Road Transport, Motor Laws, Traffic control and Road safety respectively.
11. Pretty Much

Sometimes, it’s just unavoidable.
As funny as these jokes are, road safety is a pressing issue that needs to be taken seriously. And to create Happy Roads, Maruti Suzuki has introduced Road Safety Index evaluating 10 major Indian cities.
The index lauds each city for their qualities such as Ahmedabad has great emergency services and Indore boasts of cleanliness. With this note of positivity, Maruti Suzuki attempts to build a traffic-conducive nation by bringing together policy makers, city authorities, road safety experts and citizens on one common platform.

Let’s hope the authorities are taking note while we pledge to do our own bit towards happier, safer Indian roads. For more information about the Maruti Suzuki’s initiative and the Road Safety Index, Click Here.
