Why is it amazing, does the Nexon have a waiting period of a couple of months for it to be an amazing thing? I'm imagining it to be pretty normal for the dealer to get rid of one more car standing in their yard. What have they to lose? In fact, there may be something in it for them surely. |

Yes, there is 8 weeks of waiting on nexon in delhi. Unless dealer have the desired stock available (they know which colour is fast selling, so they pre-order to compete with other dealerships), in this case a glasgow gray, which is again a fast moving colour. I guess every 2/5 nexon sold are glasgow gray. | |

| ![]() No helmet, driving bike at high speed at a median crossing is quite dangerous. Our roads are full of people who cross roads without looking, a median means danger all the time, one needs to be alert and at slow speeds always while crossing medians(anyone including animals may be crossing it).

| ![]() No regards for safety. Both the trolley and biker are party to this incident, more of the biker though. Over speeding without slowing down at median crossing itself is the cause of majority of accidents. Not wearing a helmet is a given untold rule in small towns though. |

Some people may say its crumple zone, etc but frankly when the bodyshell integrity is not "Stable" even in relatively small accidents things can only go worse from there. I had talked to one of the safety engineer from Hyundai when I went to their regional conference and he explained while they can test a car for impact "Crash test" there really is no equal alternative for mass. High strength metals are used but they are placed in such a way as to absorb certain angle of impact "Strategic placement" instead of whole frame made from the same high strength metal. I had long ago started this thread seems there was merit in my question that day after all. The commonality of the platform assures best weight reduction with much higher testing rate. Thus a common platform or few platforms which is tested several times to assure a constant bodyshell integrity rating. | |

| ![]() Yesterday I met with an accident. This happened when I was traveling from Etumanoor to Kottayam in my 2007 model Alto. The time was around 7 pm and it was also raining. At Gandhinagar Junction traffic signal, I saw the red light from far and was slowing down. Suddenly I felt the car hitting something and the front raising slightly. Before I knew what was going on, the car on the divider. My concentration was on the traffic light that I completely missed the divider ![]() Was that a bad idea reversing the car from the divider without assessing the situation? ![]() The damage caused. ![]() Take some rest dear car ![]() The spark which met with similar fate ![]() ![]() The median ![]() |

I don't think reversing will cause any major damage other than what was already scrapped or damaged from the impact. Your SA did the right thing to get the tow van arranged after assessing your situation. Get the front axle checked and replace parts if you see any structural damage. Check the sump and radiator for puncture holes, deep gashes. Last edited by prithm : 2nd April 2018 at 10:15. Reason: spelling | |

| ![]() This accident occured in Udupi, no other details have been shared. 1. Carelessness on the part of the bikers, when crossing the road. 2. Target fixation by the Innova driver? Last edited by motorpsycho : 2nd April 2018 at 23:40. |

This careless behaviour is part of our road landscape (due to lack of proper training, lack of awareness/ignorance, lack of strict law enforcement) and will remain that way for a long time into the future. Any driver crossing a junction has no option but to drive defensively and slow down enough to be control the vehicle comfortably in such situations (and pray about not getting rear ended ![]() Look at the way the Innova is speeding at the junction. Without any anticipation that someone may dart across the road suddenly. It was in the Innova driver's hands to avoid this incident by being slow and anticipating that someone would cross recklessly. Of-course the biker is at fault for that reckless crossing, but thats how most people cross our roads unfortunately. It will remain that way. The car driver had to be more careful. In this scenario, both parties are required to commit a mistake for such a collision to happen. The car driver could have shown more restraint. Last edited by for_cars1 : 3rd April 2018 at 00:58. | |
