Trucks in India have the weirdest of slogans printed at their backs. Here’s a couple of pictures of their wise posteriors after the fold. These are from my trip to India in September of 2005.

There is the customary suggestion to “Horn Please” and to “Keep Distance”. Seriously wouldn’t we have been so very poor at driving were we not drilled with the wisdom to “Use Dipper At Night”? Then there is one in Hindi that spells “Hawa Hawai”. That is so very hard to translate. Let’s see, Hawa means wind. “Hawai” is not really a word. But it probably means like the wind. So what the driver is trying to say is that despite everything the truck will go like the wind! Really, they are all such terrible drivers.
