Of snakes, worms and...

The buses which swerve to the right and left with the potential to kill passengers in other vehicles and their own, and which rather than using the designated cut-out areas drop off and pick up passengers from the centre of the road, who have no tail-lights, whose drivers do not use mirrors but rely on the guy slapping the side of the bus, are the snakes. Those annoying delivery trucks usually coloured yellow or white who try to fit through the tiniest of traffic cracks, and who push back your side mirrors by driving too close to you, are the worms. Those awful Mahindra human haulers who turn right from the far left lane and left from the far right lane are a hybrid between the snake and worm.
And there are the bikers who drive as if they don't care about the law and believe that it is their right to never have to wait like others. Ah yes, I nearly forgot the VIPS whom you can't see behind their illegal tinted car glasses. They believe they are above the law and it is their God given right to drive on the wrong side of the road. They will get policeman fired if they (police) dare try to enforce the law.
