TATA is the company that manufactures the lorries so they write "OK" right next to tata or above tata so that it actually reads "OK,TATA" ... we use "TATA- as if we are bidding "goodbye" to the vehicle behind us. the most common phrases at the back of lorries is “horn please” and “use dipper at night” and also “OK, tata” but some drivers tend to be innovative and interleave words of these slogans- like ” use horn ok please dipper” with ‘horn’ & ‘please’ painted in a different color and ‘use dipper’ with a separate color.

But is it really necessary to write it in that fashion on the truck? :roll: It just seems kind of odd. :smile: Thanks for your thoughts! Sorry to hear that your comment got erased <strong>Gaurav</strong>. Nice insight. But why is it just on trucks if its for overtake? Shouldn't it also be on other vehicles such as auto ricksaws, taxis, or even cars/sumo? Nobody uses their mirrors in India and everybody is overtaking? :roll: Anyway, it was just an observation we had..:smile: Life is full of mysteries <strong>Aaina</strong>. You got that right. :smile: Thanks <strong>Nupur</strong>. We appreciate that you have stopped by our website. :smile: Hope to see you here again. Yup, my parents have been in India for the past two months. I just got back from a three week vacation there myself but now am ready to have the whole fam back in the USA. That's why am awaiting my parents return. :smile: Wow <strong>Govind</strong>. I don't think that Mumbai was even half as bad as I thought it would be. I think traffic in general could be more organized in India, but this was just interesting to see on a truck. If its the bigger vehicles that have this, then they should put it on buses as well...they drive the roughest in Mumbai. :smile: I hope that you liked the pics! Thanks <strong>Sasha</strong>! Appreciate the nice words. It is hard to have a long distance relationship..but Neeraj and I are very dedicated to each other...and now ready to be together. Thanks for coming to our website, hope to see you back here again soon. :smile: Since when has India become so polite <strong>Mr. Raheja</strong>?? :smile: :grin: :rotfl: Sahi hai bilkul. They definitely forget the politeness when they are on the road overtaking each other like crazy! :rotfl: Very true Mona. :smile: We had similar thoughts about it.

When I landed in Hyderabad, after coming out of airport saw a traffic police shouting at van driver, which is making lots of pollution. And that driver, did nt even care to hear what the police is sayin and went away. :) And the police, took it litely. Anyways, nice observation!!. Am going to check the pics now. Horn OK please. ;) Hmm, what mona said right. :grin: In india, they hardly care about side mirrors or even traffic rules.
