Here (http://www.bmlta.org/TransportSummit) are a few more details and here (http://www.bmlta.org/sites/default/files/Schedule.pdf)is the schedule. Who is who of Bangalore Transport is expected to be there. Anybody from Praja planning to go? It does not mention if it is an open event or invitation only. If it is invitation only, I guess it wont be too hard to get an invite if we ask BMLTA nicely. |

Vasanth - 2-SEP-2008
Cab Drivers can be called as 'insects' of Bangalore traffic. The kind of people who drive the Indicas and Sumos are usually 'bad mannered' and 'ready to fight' type of people. Autos are one type, but, since they are not as powerful as the cabs, they are 'bit better' than these cabs (comparison among the worst). These cab drivers behave as if they are pilots of Jet planes and saving the country!! |

How good is your Road Safety Knowledge - Test your self against 170 questions asj - 25-AUG-2008
For some time now I have been working towards making available an Interactive road safety quiz database for Indian road users.
Here is the entire quiz database of 170 questions available as two interactive quiz e-book's to test your knowledge of road safety related issues. This is a free downloadable resource for all who are preparing to sit the theory driving test as a part of licensing procedure. The latter is rare as most states in India still have not implemented a mandatory theory test for learner drivers. Hope is that Road Traffic Authorities in India use the above as a starting point for implementing a mandatory theory test for all new learner drivers. This resource is also likely to be a perfect way of refreshing the knowledge base of those who have been driving for several years.
