The pass indicator was under the OK and thus HORN OK PLEASE makes sence. Today there arent any indicators left. but you still haev to write HORN OK PLEASE behind your truck. I think you also have to write Mera Bharat Mahaan at the back and Goods Carrier in the front
Read about this in an auto magazine. pretty interesting ....... | |
Also seen on Public Carriers
" Hum do Hamare do" seen some years back has become
"WE TWO OURS ONE ". I wonder when it would read
"WE TWO OURS NONE " or " YOU ONE I ONE OURS NONE" . Boy, times are changing fast.
In the 70's when the country was in a State of Emergency, it was compulsory to write
" NATION IS ON THE MOVE " and besides that youcould read
" Speed 40 KM per hour ". Do we have a thread on these writings. It would make great fun reading about them from all the different places of India. One can also imagine an old piece of footwear hanging in the front just below the Radiator.
On highway Trends, has anyone come across driving on the right side of the road on the Ghats in Madhya Pradesh. God, its scary when you see a truck rolling down right in front of you just as you come out of a blind curve. Not to talk about the S***s he gets when he sees you because he expects you to be on the other side of the road. I have seen this happen in the Nagpur-Bhopal section just after Hoshangabad. Also on the Indore-Aurangabad sector.
So long....
