There are a few things that really aggravate me when I drive in the city. But chief among these has got to be the jaywalking problem. I can?t explain how irritating it is when you?re trying to manoeuvre your car around people walking aimlessly on the road, never mind the footpaths available.

Another driving peeve ? and I think it?s particularly experienced by women drivers ? is that bus drivers only have to see a woman at the steering wheel and they will go all out to try and block you and prevent your car from passing. I?ve experienced this so many times whenever I?m out driving. Also, taxi drivers think they have the right to stop just about anywhere in order to pick up a passenger. Yet, God help you if you happen to be blocking their way ? the choicest obscenities will pour forth.

But these irritants apart, I have to say that Calcutta?s traffic problem has improved quite a bit thanks to the vigilant traffic police and the one-way traffic system.
