when police tried to flag down the autorickshaw for going too fast, the driver tried to speed away.

When I first read your post, I thought it was some kind of whacky world record attempt.

But try as she might, she couldn't find one - lots of models of flashy American cars, but no tuk-tuks. Apparently no Indian boy would thank you for a model tuk-tuk.

I've spent a fair amount of time in India and I don't think I've never heard them called 3-wheelers there. In India they're called auto-rickshaws and, in fact, most commonly called just "autos". The drivers are auto-wallahs.
Now in Sri Lanka I've heard them called 3-wheelers and trishaws, about equally commonly....

I asked her to read your reply, she said 'Well I lived there three years, and if that's what he thinks - phhh'. She's Asian BTW and just not into p'ing contests over details on web-fora

Nothing odd there, but this was at the top of a 17 storey (200 feet?) block of flats. 200 feet up, and probably around 60-70 feet horizontally. I had no idea that cherry pickers could be so big. And it was a bit breezy. Those guys must be totally fearless. Or mad.

Not entirely sure a fall from that height would be safe with just a hard hart
