Nope the word 'TukTuk' itself has no meaning referencing wheels... its an onomatopoeic term replicating the sound the vehicle makes....    it has since become synonymous with the 'simple smaller taxi type vehicle' that is smaller than a Song-táew, which literally translated means 'two row' (of bench seats usually in a converted pickup).

I sure hope that guy pays the tuktuk driver's fine and costs.

How about going out onto the road to catch people speeding,not indicating and no lights or do I have my priorities mixed up.Trying to fine a tourist for this seems to be more important to some.
