You thought that Japan was a safe country when it comes to transportation ? Think again! This, being my second visit to Kyoto, has made me certain that "It ain't what it looks like".
For an Indian, especially one who lives in Mumbai, Rickshawallas are a huge menace. Most of them are bloody reckless and just outright break all traffic rules. And if they end up causing damage they will fight it out as if it were no fault of theirs. There are many things I can complain about the the main point is the first: "Impatient and Reckless Driving".
Guess what ? Many taxi drivers in Japan are dangerous drivers as well. The usually cut signals which is supposed to be a big NO-NO. They drive out of lanes without honking. I was about to be hit by one of these taxis last week. In summary, I am terrified of these drivers. They might not be as rude as the rickshawallas but they can surely give them a run for their money when it comes to rule bending and breaking.
