Last time when i was travelling in one such roads, i came accross the following...
1. A 41kmph truck trying to overtake a 40kmph truck on a steep road.
2. On the TN, Karnataka border, the trucks waiting for some *kind of clearence or what ever, are all lined up all along, occupying one of the lanes.
3. Was peacefully cruising at 100, and all of a sudden some 20,30 mts in front of me, one tvs 50 fellow, crossed all 4 lanes in one quick move, just like that. No hesitation, nothing from that fellow. Only my heart skipped a beat.
4. *2,3 carcass of dogs!!! Avoided all but one.
5. When a slow moving truck moves to left lane, u think u have finally seen some civilisation... guess what... couple of head lights slams right on ur face... A mini van or cab or whatever, coooly travells in the opposite direction with their head lights on. Since they have built a median all along the HW, these guys are lazy to go down all the way and take a U-turn, so takes this short cut.
And this on a 140km strectch from Bangalore to darumapuri...

But the quality of the roads were really good and the traffic also was less. |
