OT : The number plate on the bus is fake. Initially I was surprised to find a KL 01 B (Trivandrum registration from the early 90s in a bus in kozhikode) which made check the portal and it tells me it is a motorcycle. Last edited by --gKrish-- : 4th February 2020 at 18:35. | |

| ![]() Just one of the many shoulds in driving. Everyone should use all their mirrors all the time. Because why? Because why wouldn't you? What do you want? To see less? Or to see more. But the bikers won't listen. Nor will the people who think it is fine not to use mirrors. |

| ![]() Another phenomenon, increasing rapidly in Bangalore - turn right, move to the right side of the road before junction and turn sharp right. Oncoming traffic has to adjust and make way to these.. |

| ![]() This happened couple of days back, as far as parents love their kids, I wish they are informed on safety measures. |

While you have a valid point on the consequence/inconvenience of such an action, hopefully that teaches the honda city owner a lesson not to forget in a hurry. While your method is apt, it only applies to those with a conscience and respect for others. If the honda owner had either of these the car would not have been parked in such a way. He should be happy that no further damage was done to the car, as a consequence of his/her own stupidity and inconsideration. Also, it is quite possible that some car would have had a car air pump which could have been borrowed. The polite way may not always be the best way to educate fellow road users in our country.

| ![]() I agree. Politeness is taken as a weakness today. Whether it is two or four wheels, I feel the act done by OP , like a punch in the face, is what will stick in the mind of the offender! |

| ![]() I need not mention that Headlights and Hazards will let you do ANYTHING on our country's roads. ![]() This was on a proper 6 lane road with a median. The U turn was only 100 meters away. |

| ![]() Going against the tide here and posting about a good driver ![]() It's not every day that one sees a good driver in peak/rush hour morning office traffic, so I'm posting this here as "contrary evidence" for all the bad driving we see around us. I also remember @Thad E Ginathom mentioning that good drivers go unnoticed most of the times, which is so very true. So, I'm using this to break the monotony of this thread that has been seen so many posts about bad drivers/driving. I was just behind this car and followed it with a safe distance from my car for a good 15-20 minutes in peak traffic and was happy seeing it being driven so nicely. ![]() *BMW X7 XDrive 40i - It had a local state registration number and colour of the number plate was blackish/dark green. It also has "SEYCHELLES CC (HONORARY)" in small font above the number, Carnet import or Diplomatic (numbers don't change to local numbers for such do they? ) or is it something else ?

In my case, it was in my recently moved apartment.With many thing planed for the Sunday, I came to parking to remove the my car only to find out I am blocked with a car parked exactly in front of my parking entry/exit gate. There was a decent amount of space next to gate , but the owner chose my gate maybe because it requires additional maneuvering to park a little ahead. Started searching for the owner initially at nearby homes and no one had any clue. Then started calling the Car dealer by a sticker which was pasted on the car, they acknowledged and tried their best even though it was Sunday and suggested to call Traffic police who will tow it away. The other side of my parking had another car whose owner was out of town. After an hour or so I got a call from Car dealer with a number unfortunately that number did not exist. Now it is more than an hour and option of calling traffic police is left or cancel the day. There was a church nearby and being Sunday there was a slight possibility of owner being there for such long time, my Security guard went there and made an announcement and the owner was found. The owner was a gentleman who acknowledged his mistake , but the anger inside me made me blast at him (tried my best to be normal, but couldn't).With some scenes the owner left and I started the day 2+ hours late ![]() I found this mobile parking card which displays mobile number so that others can reach out to the car owner when emergency. This might be helpful when parked at unknown places (best to carry during Road trips). | |
