| ![]() New breed of mad morons. A couple of wannabe fitness freak bicyclist riders all dressed in extreme competition gear, on their 15-25k multi gear cycles, crawling up ( at around 5kmph) on the Khambakti ghats enroute from Pune to Satara (NH4). Their stupid Sunday ride spoiled the drive for all traffic enroute towards Bangalore/Kolhapur, with traffic crawling/stretched out for atleast 1km, especially pitiable were trucks who lost all momentum slowing to a crawl behind these idiots. All these older (born again adventurer) dudes, get some common sense before you think of copying Western habits, atleast ride on one side of a road, and try and avoid national highways for your Sunday morning entertainment. |

| ![]() ^^^Were they occupying the complete lane width by riding abreast, thereby forcing motorists to drive slowly behind them ? If so, that is bad. In Chennai/Kerala, they would have just been honked/revved off the road, which would really not have been wrong since they are inconveniencing others.

Please have your Sunday morning fitness routine by all means, but not by causing traffic jams and big trouble uphill on ghats for people who want to reach somewhere else. | |

The most irritating thing on the highways - One slow moving truck/bus trying to overtake another & thereby blocking both the lanes on the highway and forcing the triple digit drivers to crawl behind them at 40kmph until one of them decides to let the other truck/bus overtake it. This is one of the reasons why FE gets affected on the dual carriageways. We crawl behind them for a few mins and after passing them and when we reach 100+, there'll be another pair of morons trying to do the same thing & we will have to slow down and crawl behind them.. This is just clock work. When will they ever learn to drive with some senses? | |

![]() Jokes apart, yes there is nothing to spoil your mood on the highway than having 2 such trucks in front of you, taking half-an-hour to complete an overtaking operation. And funnily, with the kind of negligible relative speeds, wonder what's the whole point of the overtaking exercise. Last edited by supremeBaleno : 17th June 2013 at 09:26.

| ![]() A case of bad and insensitive driving yesterday. This lady in a Blue Etios, may be she is a learner (no L stickers on the car, dark tinted, though) in pouring bangalore rains drives her car in the middle of the road not sticking to a lane holding traffic behind her and to top this, each time the traffic stops, insensitively this lady rolls back into the cars behind. She rolled back thrice and banged into mine once. I was so scared the Vento's airbags would deploy, to warn her, I honked a long almost 1 minute honk and squeezed out from behind her giving her a stare. This lady took offence of my honking and tries to revenge by sneaking up behind my car and honking like I did. Sheesh, situations one has to face amidst already irritating conditions. Later I let her pass me and few cars and then I joined back in to continue my drive. A good mix CD of your favorite tracks DOES help ALL the time. |

| ![]() saw this silver Swift (KA-53-MA-5054) in the opposite lane on the Graphite India road driving very rash and at high speed. you see the gray bike on the right; this guy almost rammed into him, swerved at the last moment (would have hit me too if he hit the biker). ![]() the Swift had a LTD on the front bumper ![]() |
