Guess he tried to treat his tractor like a giant quad-bike. Good guy. We need to appreciate safe drivers!

Interesting. The guy on the bike, leaning back and driving was pretty crazy. It is on NH8 towards Delhi it seems, or rather I am sure it is.

How was the bike maintaining acceleration. Did he have something stuck on the handle bar to give himself some juggad cruise control?

Spotted this,last month ,at Thoppur Ghat area. (Dharmapuri,TN).
Mobile snaps--sorry about bad quality.

May be the same driver as in first clip.
His truck and this engine fell off the first road hump(out of those famous 8 ones).

This is what I could see on the Bengal-Jharkhand border check post. These three trucks were parked on NH2.They were railway carriages but I could not identify them.

I am sure the auto at the rear was possessed, how else would one explain the zombie legs. One needs to be very careful of these autos, its quite scary

Morons, absolute idiots really.
I have seen at least 3 'Scootys' this week with the kids seated backwards. While the kids seem happy, I think it is most irresponsible of the parents to do so on public roads with high density traffic. If a joyride is necessary, why not do it on internal society roads? end rant/

Is this common in other cities too?

selfdrive, I have seen similar incidents in Bangalore too. Many people in our locality allow this. My wife's close friend also does this with her kid. This is total stupidity and dont realize how dangerous it can be.
