Auto rickshaws - bane of the traffic on urban Indian roads

Driving on the Indian roads isn't for the faint hearted - guess it's a known thing but if you analyze closely,the worst offenders of traffic rules are the auto rickshaw drivers. They seem to operate with complete impunity and brazenness. Making stops anywhere and everywhere is not an exception rather a norm for the auto-rickshaw drivers.The drivers ain't well-behaved either.The burly buses aid to the chaos on the road.There need to be stricter regulations as far as the day to day operations of auto-rickshaws is concerned.

Incidentally I found an innovation borne out of the vacuum created by auto rickshaw drivers in Gurgaon, it is called Radio TukTuk . It's the radio taxi equivalent for tuktuk or auto-rickshaw. I used there services couple of times and I must say it offers a refreshing change from regular auto-rickshaw. Can more services like Radio TukTuk show the way to regulate the obnoxious problems caused by auto-rickshaws ?
