However, on a serious note, ive never thought about it the way you expressed (ie shoulder vs expressway), however i think the rule is that you should not stop (on either the shoulder or the expressway) unless it is a (real) emergency. It might sound stupid, but when cars are travelling at that speed, on a straight boring road, the drivers pay less attention and mentally just stay behind the car ahead of them. If they see a car on the shoulder (especially at night or in the rain) it takes a while for them to realise the car is not moving, and sometimes they begin to "follow" it and realise with a thud. As silly as it sounds, it IS dangerous to stop. For proof, take a look at youtube videos and you will find HUNDREDS of videos where a cop stops someone on the side of the road, and after a minute of being parked on the side of the road (even with the cops flashing lights) some idiot comes and rams into both the parked cars, or the cop at the window (standing safely on the shoulder), or even cases where flying tyres knock the cop out. cya R Last edited by Rehaan : 8th December 2007 at 04:16. | |

| Mr.Behram Dhabar, LHD Fiat should be a rare car and from the photos and travelogue it is sure in top condition.It is definitely a pleasure to drive a fiat/padmini which appears to be quick revving (shorter stroke length?) engine. Congratulation.Your write up was very interesting with the thrilling experince of changing distributer midway at dusk and with food you had on the way (tender coconut,burgers,idli's,thali meals with prawn) .Bad roads are everywhere but you could have covered the whole distance in 21 hours or so comfortably if the roads were good.

If you think you can write about him in this forum please throw more light. Next I think you yourself were amazing with the well thought out kit in orange suitcase, self designed inlet manifold, changing axle ratio (differential?), solex to mikuni carburettor etc. Oooooh, have to learn more about T-Bhp members.
