| ![]() Oh god thats a horrible crash with a verna . May the souls of the departed rest in peace That being said IMHO the RA did not have any right to take matters into thier own hands and give chase , for god sake even the police in some states have been instructed ( by the High cour , for eg:- Kerala) not to give chase as then the situation becomes extremely dangerous for other road users, the chaser as well as the chased. And none of this would have happened if the Police were doing thier duty well. Last edited by hellstar : 6th March 2009 at 09:56. Reason: typo correction |

BHPian | ![]() I have constantly been complaining about how people take the right most lane to have been constructed by their ancestors and go along at their own pace holding back all the traffic in the world behind them. Today a similar thing was happening with a maruti 800 guy (again those pesky maruti guys, ive already been banged by one at a signal ![]() And having just read the previous posts regarding the verna accident properly - Sad, very sad. Its unfortunate that good deeds can turn out to be so horribly wrong in the end. And that the truck guys get to go away scot free? Thats even worse. A lot of rickshaw drivers and bikes also ride in the city limits itself with out lights. I sincerely believe that that is also dangerous. Like how the other day the 2 way flyover near my house was closed for traffic on one side. Some foolish lady on a scooty had borken through the barrier and she headed right towards me. I was alert enough to swerve away else I know that I would have killed her. She had her daughter behind her, and no headlight on, and no helmet on either. Folks, as of this day I am officially scared to drive my car in India. As disciplined and a good driver as we maybe, the chances of suffering are just way too high.

Senior - BHPian | ![]() OT: It's not an Eagle F1, 100%. The F1s have 2 small shoulder sipes between each large diagonal sipe. These Q7 tyres have just one. However, I was wrong, it doesn't appear to be the MA-Z1 either. Last edited by v1p3r : 6th March 2009 at 16:31. |

| ![]() This proves Verna doesn't make a good pursuit vehicle. What a way to end life ! Verna occupants qualify for The Darwin Awards |

When will people understand our city roads are not meant for high speed driving let alone wild chases. You can get a Truck/Lorry/Car/Bus/Cows/Buffalo/Cyclewallahs/Rickshaws/Bikers/Children from anywhere anytime in front of you without any warning and high speeding no matter which car even if you survive car is doomed. Verna doesn't have airbags and looking at the after impact pics i dont think they would have helped in anyway. Last edited by harry10 : 6th March 2009 at 18:16. | |

| ![]() Iam sure this is the primary reason for most of the accidents that happens. Adrenalin rush is the right word than poor judgment, as people in spite of knowing it's very hard to complete overtake, they take a chance purely due to reasons highlighted |
