10 [On the Road]

In the car.

Amirhui admires not other scenery the most, but the taxis that fill the streets.

"There are so many taxis here."

"Well, Mumbai is the city with the most taxis in India." Dixitt stared at him in astonishment, and looked at him strangely, not knowing whether he was asking or feeling. She explained.

Everywhere in Mumbai from south to north, there are black-body, yellow-roofed taxis produced by the Indian Tata Group, which look like Volga sedans produced in recent years, with square heads and square heads. Most taxis in Mumbai are not air-conditioned, with glass rolled down on both sides and no rearview mirrors. A huge mechanical meter hangs outside the window and is pulled by hand before each drive.

The three-wheeled TUTU car is a cheaper means of transportation, this kind of car is a bit like the motorcycle of the imperial capital, but it is more sturdy than the motorcycle of the imperial capital of China, and the three-wheeled TUTU actually has a meter, which looks very fresh, but the central area of Mumbai does not seem to be their territory.

Dixit blinked, "It's not like Delhi at all, it's hard to see four-wheeled taxis in Delhi except for the train station and airport. If you want to request a taxi at other locations, you will probably have to wait for more than half an hour if you have to call a taxi by phone. ā€

"Hey, you've been to Delhi before?" Amirhui asked in surprise.

"That's—" Dixit's chin was raised and he looked at Amirhui with a look of contempt, "Although I was born in Mumbai, my family also has some influence in Delhi. ā€

was stunned, this sentence made Amirhui have to re-examine this chick, secretly thinking that this chick's family background is really extraordinary.

Looking at Dixit, who had bright big eyes and a unique temperament and an arrogant appearance of the girl in front of her, Amirhui looked at her for a moment, as if she wanted to see the flower.

"You, what do you see?" Dixit's original tsundere disappeared suddenly, her little face flushed, and she stammered; After speaking, without waiting for him to answer, don't look out the window.

"I'm enjoying the view!" Amirhui smiled.

Look out the window.

Mumbai taxi drivers driving skills are outstanding, taxi drivers and school bus drivers are the same, drive a car to think of themselves as Schumacher, as soon as there is space in front, a foot on the accelerator to 80 miles, in case of a situation and then brake suddenly, people in the car will often be frightened, when the wrong car several times Amir Hui nervously put his heart to the throat, but they can control the distance between the car very well, every time can save the danger into safety.

It is said that even if there is a scratch when driving in Mumbai, due to the gentle nature of Indians, there are very few disputes, and most of them are repaired by themselves. With the exception of the Corniche, many of Mumbai's streets are narrow, many roads are not marked at all, rickshaws and motor vehicles often go hand in hand, and occasionally encounter a sacred cow or other animal. When waiting for a red light, it is not uncommon to see 4-5 cars waiting side by side. In this kind of car with many narrow roads, the superiority of not having a rearview mirror is reflected.

Amirhui believes that if you travel from the country next door, young or middle-aged people like to rent a car and drive it yourself, as long as they can drive in Mumbai, then driving anywhere in the world is a trivial matter!

On Indian roads.

Amir Hui saw that many cars are often painted on the back of the horn or please honk, why do you ask someone to honk, at first Amir Hui felt strange, and asked the school bus driver: "Why do you ask someone to honk?" So many people like that. ā€

The school bus driver was so impressed with him that he smiled and told him, "Why are you honking?" ā€

"That's a good question"

Amirhui didn't expect this driver to be quite appetizing.

With his back to him, the driver smiled: "This is telling the car behind you, if you want to overtake, please honk the horn to make a notification." In other words, those who are in a hurry can honk their horns to call the slow car in front of them to give way, without having to speed up to overtake, and the driver walking in front is willing to get out of the way. ā€

Amirhui suddenly realized that in India, honking is not an impolite behavior, no wonder the horns on the street are one after another, and it is lively and lively.

The bearded driver, while driving the fast car, said slowly, "If you don't use the horn, eighty percent of the drivers won't be able to drive." ā€

This is completely different from the situation in China, where people will be looked down upon if they honk their horns indiscriminately.

This also reflects the different habits of the two places. Amirhui thought. At this time, the school bus finally rushed out of the town, and it turned out that the school where Amir Hui studied was still an hour's drive away!

Compared with the traffic in Mumbai, India, the traffic in any part of China can be said to be "orderly"!

Amirhui proved that the cars with reflectors in India are all new island countries and European and American cars, and the cars that are a little old have either the mirrors been removed, or they seem to have never been installed! Mirrors are completely useless on the roads of Mumbai! Indians change lanes when they want to drive, and when someone honks the horn in the back, they change back, and when no one presses, they change over!

The distance between cars when stopping and changing lanes is very small, and the doors are attached to the doors and the bumpers are attached to the bumpers. In such road conditions, Indians can drive two lanes out of six lanes, and at the same time everyone can speed at a speed of more than 60 kilometers on the road with a speed limit of 40!

That's how Amir Hui drove the driver! Racing at a speed of 110 in a large group of large trucks, Amir Hui refueled him along the way through the sandwich iron plate, shouting: "Niu B! ā€

"It's amazing!"

"Driver, you're awesome!"

"Damn, you can shoot Fast and Furious"

Every time he overtook a truck at high speed at a distance between the cracks, Amir Hui gave the driver a warm applause!

In fact, there is also a little nervousness in my heart.

"Look at me, I'm the best school bus driver!" The driver's steering, braking, and the movements under his feet are smooth, the cooperation in his hands is so fast, and the blood in his whole body is first-class, and after being inspired by Amirhui, he is even more excited! The wheels rolled and spun like windmills, and the car drove like a wild horse galloping off the leash.

The roaring rhythm of the engine is percussion, and those who know how to drag race can find its melody and find its most beautiful ups and downs.

The nano teacher in the car and the others were used to it, but they looked at the abnormal Amir Hui strangely, abnormal, too abnormal!

Today, Amirhui seems to have changed as a person! Everyone, including Amiryu, thought so.

"Buzz-"

"Buzz-" The worst part of Mumbai's traffic is at the suburban junction, where large trucks whizz past with siren-like whistles. On the suburban roads, there are a lot fewer cars, and although the road surface is only two-way and two-lane most of the time, it is still very smooth. However, the killers on the suburban roads are not cars, but all kinds of animals that cross the road, such as cows, monkeys, dogs, horses, sheep, and occasionally large flocks of crows or pigeons suddenly descending in the middle of the road.
