The self-drive tuk-tuks transforming travel in Sri Lanka

I’m very concerned how one can just hop on a tuk-tuk and start riding it! Two-wheelers are easy if you know how, and so does the four-wheelers (cars). But for the three-wheel tuk-tuk — people don’t practice for that.

During college days, on a fateful night, I took two friends and rode the manual rickshaw. There was no way to control that, even though I can ride a bicycle very well. I remember hitting a pole near an electric transformer and all three of us thrown out and plunged into a pond nearby (that saved us). We were pulled out by the neighbors. Nothing bad happened, besides some bruises. But I’m not touching anything three-wheeled ever again.

wow, that's such a great thing. tuk tuks are generally the mid point between affordable and comfort
