Road rules

Road lines speak straight to the driver behind: honk, keep your distance, dip your lights.

Truck owners choose a line like this and have it painted across the tailgate in flowing script, surrounded by flowers, birds and reflective chamak patti. Press the speaker to hear how it sounds, or share it as a card.

چلتی ہے گاڑی اڑتی ہے دھول، جلتے ہیں دشمن کھلتے ہیں پھول

Chalti hai gaari, urti hai dhool; jalte hain dushman, khilte hain phool

The truck rolls, the dust flies; rivals burn, and flowers bloom.

Horn aahista bajao, qaum so rahi hai

Honk softly, the nation is sleeping.
