A dipper is meant to signal your intention of overtaking the vehicle ahead of you. Much better than honking and thus creating noise pollution.

When do you intend to overtake though? When you think you’re in a position to. Right. However Bangalore drivers use the dipper in a very innovative manner. In fact it’s sort of a ritual for them – Though must use the dipper when the distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you is less than or equal to 10 feet.
