First of all, I am not writing this for people to agree/disagree with me. I am writing this to find a solution. Most of the discussions I see here, people just put their 2 cents in but nobody actually wants to resolve it. I would appreciate if people give some useful input on this. Not just sharing their experiences, do share if there is something that can help us making situation better e.g. if anybody has ever tried to complain or know some complaint number/box etc (even if it doesn't work).
Please don't tell me that this problem can't be resolved. I already know that and that is why I want to find a solution. We can setup little tasks towards solving it. There is no gurantee that it will be resolved but we do millions of projects in our life and not everything succeeds but we still do it. Here is my suggestion that
1) We list down all the problems so please provide any list of problems with auto drivers.
2) We find out steps to solve it . I don't know if those steps will work but why not try it.
3) Take action items. Small items like finding the complaint box and actually complaining or finding NGOs that are working on it. It can be any solution.
Here are the major problems I see with auto drivers in Delhi.
1) They refuse to go bluntly.
2) They will not go by meters or meter is not working.
3) They drive very rash (that probably is problem with all drivers, so we can take that separtely).
I think I spoke enough and I will keep the lists updated with problems and suggestions and wait for your thoughts.

Update on 29/11/2007
I am modifying this after getting couple of responses and here are our options so far. I will keep track of suggestion and keep updates here
1) These Auto-drivers should go through some kind of training or course before being handed over the license.
2) Strict law enforcement - Not sure how much we can do but lets just brainstrom and come up with any crazy possible/impossible idea that exists and then we might have an action plan.
Also the discussion about people not responding to the issues as raised by "Bull". That is a separate discussion but lets address one problem at a time. Otherwise we will be running from one topic to another without any solution.
