![]() Hyderabad changes road rules after Azhar's son's accident - So Hyd roads are safe now? Now that racing is banned? Secondly - was it un-banned all this time (as in legal?) | |

| ![]() Saw a red Indica in flames just opposite Praj. Lots of black smoke coming up while the owner was watching helplessly, I did not have a fire extinguisher in my car so did not stop. While the occupants are safe, the car does not seem to be stopping from burning itself out, it is just a matter of time. Wonder what went wrong? Sorry no pics as I was the only one driving.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Got to witness a freaky incident yesterday. It happened at around 5 in the evening when an interstate KA registered bus had left the bus stand to proceed towards its destination suddenly had its front windshield crashing down. The bus had just left the bus stand and fortunately it was following traffic so it hadn't caught upon much speed yet. The bus was just about to cross me on the other lane when I hear a pop just like a balloon burst and I see the windshield comes crashing down falling into bits directly into the face of the driver. the bus driver closed his eyes and slammed the brakes. What I do not understand is that how can it happen, first of all it was a non AC bus so the were no temperature differences and also it was as I had said ,5 in the evening. |

The roads may be OK, but what about the drivers, do you think they are capable of handling cars at excessive speeds ?? But racing tracks are a different matter, these tracks are designed for high speeds and cars running on them are expected to run at such speeds, also you do not expect other traffic (coming from opposite direction) in these tracks. Similarly racing cars are designed for high speeds. But most commercially available cars are not designed for such conditions. Most important of all, the drivers are trained to handle crisis at such high speeds. Perhaps in the US, such high speeds may be normal, but traffic/road conditions are different here. thanks a | |

Translated (Konkani to English): Is this at Margao Bustand? Roads are gone bad there. Must have gone into the major potholes and chassis must have bend and the glass shattered due to the flex. | |

On another note i generally do 120 and sometimes crank up 140 on the ORR and have seen some exotics pass by like as if i am doing 60 kmph. Perhaps we should ask them if they are trained for doing such speeds in India. ![]() | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Not possible cause it had left the bus stand and had just reached the location where the new hospital is coming up, the road is good from there but I guess what you said might have caused the problem. the good thing was that the problem occurred within the city itself ,would've gone completely wrong if the bus was on a slope or at the ghats or something cause the glass fell in the drivers cabin and he had to close his eyes while braking. |
