Yousuf | 5 years ago | Reply As someone who drives daily on crowded roads such as I.I Chundrigar, MA Jinnah and Sharah-e-Faisal, the worst drivers are Motor Cyclists and Rickshaws. Both make rash turns without looking at either direction and expect others to give them way. I'm positive for any accident that takes place between a Motor Cyclist and a Car, 99% of the time it's the fault of the motor cyclist.
